Coffee also inhibits the production of saliva.<\/li><li><strong>Add-ins Can Cause Bacterial Overgrowth<\/strong> \u2013 Milk and sugar can cause bacteria in your mouth to release sulfur gas.<\/li><li><strong>Morning Routine<\/strong> \u2013 Many people drink coffee <em>after<\/em> they\u2019ve brushed their teeth.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to Avoid Coffee Breath<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t give up coffee quite yet, there are some ways you can get rid of the bad breath that comes with it. Brushing your teeth, gargling with mouthwash, or drinking a large glass of water after having coffee can make a big difference. Toothpastes containing zinc, fluoride, or clove oil have also been shown to help. If you\u2019re out and about, consider carrying sugar-free breath mints, cough drops, or gum with you so you can prevent coffee breath on the go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Another change you can make is taking your coffee black. Bacteria feed on sugar, so adding sweeteners or milk to your favorite cup of joe can worsen coffee breath. If you find black coffee is too bitter for you, you can stir it with a vanilla bean or cinnamon stick, or consider sugar substitutes. However, there are plenty of other drinks out there that can satisfy your coffee craving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>What are Some Coffee Alternatives?<\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For those who prefer to avoid coffee breath by stopping their coffee consumption, there are caffeine and decaf options out there. Consider trying:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>High caffeine black, chai, or green tea<\/li><li>Yerba mate<\/li><li>Caffeine-free chicory root coffee<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>The best drink to keep your smile healthy is water. But, if you like to enjoy beverages beyond a glass of water, there are ways to still protect your teeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><a><\/a><a><\/a><strong>About the Practice<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.keysdentist.com\/\">Cosmetic &amp; Restorative Dentistry of the Keys<\/a> offers a wide range of comprehensive and reliable treatments.
