The taste is awful but it somehow neutralized my mouth and it will last for a long time.
I do this a couple times a week and seems to work very well.

hi there...I agree with lilwun23, I think you have stomach problems, consult your doctor immediately.If the odor is unavoidable,always bring mouth freshener with you and be aware of this everytime, lick the back of you palm let it dry for a few seconds and smell it, that's the odor of you mouth, put mouth spray if necessary, but the best way is to consult your doctor.
take care...

The only thing I can think of is (1) brush your tongue, that's where bad breath germs are mainly formed. (2) if you can get a hold of a "sonic" tooth brush, their electric, I don't know if their sold where you are, but you may be able to find something similar, it comes with an attachment that you run up and down your tongue and at 7200 stokes per minute it's been proven to greatly reduce bad breath.

Just chew two pieces at once until the flavor is gone and then chew two more pieces all day long like that. If that doesn't work you should tell your dentist because you might have chronic halitosis and there are treatments you can get at the dentist to treat your problem. They will just kill the bacteria living in your mouth that is causing your strong breath. But in the meantime just chew dentyne arctic chill. That should work.
