Bad Breath! Unfortunately it's a part of life we often have to deal with when dating. Men, women, young, old, poor and rich - bad breath is a visitor almost everyone let's in at some point in their lives. When you are just starting to date someone, it can be a deal breaker. When you have been dating someone for a while, it can be a deal crusher. So what can you do to make sure that the smells coming from your mouth don't kill flowers and wildlife 20 feet away?

• Dating Tips 1 - Brush Your Teeth Right Before You See Your Date
  Let me tell you something. Toothpaste and portable brushes are in! Go to your neighborhood convenience store and get your portable equipment. It won't fail you in your time of need. A portable brush and a small tube of toothpaste are small enough to fit in a jacket pocket. Make sure you have one in your pocket and make sure you use it before you see your date so that your breath is fresh.


• Dating Tips 2 - Carry Breath Mints With You
  Make sure you carry breath mints with you. Although they are not as good as being able to actually brush your teeth, they are very helpful for quick relief of bad breath.


• Dating Tips 3 - Avoid Coffee And Mocha Latte Whatever
  Coffee really makes your breath stink. It smells so good when it's being made. In your mouth, however, it's a good breath killer. If you know you are going to be meeting your date, leave the coffee off of your menu for the day to protect your breath. 


• Dating Tips 4 - Go Easy On The Garlic And Onions
  Garlic and onions are a sure way to drive a wedge between you and someone you are dating. When you know you are going on a date, skip these goodies and make your date happy.


• Dating Tips 5 - Put Your Cigarettes Away For The Day
  Cigarettes do not only stain your teeth, they also make your breath smell horrible. Even after you brush your teeth, it is very hard to get rid of that smoking smell. If you know you are going to have a special date, don't smoke. You can always light up after your date.


• Dating Tips 6 - Carry A Small Bottle Of Listerine With You
  In addition to providing your breath with a big pick me up, Listerine kills bacteria that cause bad smells in the first place. You can always excuse yourself, swish and come back to your date with fresh breath if you have Listerine.


• Dating Tips 7 - If You Go On A Dinner Date, Excuse Yourself And Quickly Brush Your Teeth After The Meal
  Having pieces of spinach stuck between your teeth is not pretty. Neither is the smell a good dinner can leave on your breath. Take care of both with a quick brush up after dinner. Your breath, your teeth and your date will thank you for it.


• Dating Tips 8 - Have Rotten Teeth Removed - They Poison Your System
  Rotten teeth poisons your system and can cause you to have bad breath. If you have teeth that need to come out, get them out ASAP. Talk with your dentist and get those decaying teeth pulled to protect not only your breath, but also your overall health.

If you do all of these things and your breath can still knock down buildings, it's time to seek professional help. Sometimes bad breath is a symptom of a much bigger problem. Don't be afraid to get that additional help. A lot of times we put off things like this and hope they will go away. Wouldn't you feel really stupid if a small problem developed into an out of control problem requiring a lot of expense to fix  (or perhaps surgery) when you could have gone to the doctors and had it taken care of without all of the hassle? If your car was falling apart you would have it checked out. You are far more valuable than a car. Take some time and invest in you. No one wants to kiss someone with bad breath. Take the time to get your breath under control.
