I've always wondered what couples do in the morning to avoid inflicting rancid breath on each other? How long did it take to get to a point where you don't notice anymore?

You never not notice. Just get up, brush/mouthwash and sneek back into bed. Makes for a nice surprise.

We still notice! Twenty-one years and counting.

We don't kiss until after we brush our teeth that's all. Neck snuggles have to do until the morning breath is eliminated.

My current problem? Dh has taken to adding raw garlic to his salads because he likes the taste and read somewhere how healthy it is. Eww.

The odor comes from his lungs, not his mouth. So no amount of brushing teeth will get rid of the stench. We are trying to come to a compromise, say raw garlic once a week? That's about all I can live with, I think.

The smell of garlic comes through the pores in the skin, too. I had a student who smelled of garlic often. Sweet kid with a not-so-sweet smell, even though she was always clean.

We don't do much face to face in the morning before coffee, but I do insist on toothbrushes before going to bed. Both of us need it to be kissable, and to keep our teeth healthy.

LOL! We brush our teeth at bedtime too. But we still have morning breath.

And coffee breath?

That's the worst!

There are some garlic capsules you can get at the pharmacy area at Walmart I think that are odorless. I don't know how they work, but it might help your husband.

Yeah, brush teeth first thing in the morning. Mouth wash is nice, too. I don't have to worry about scratchy face because DH has a beard.

Morning breath will always be there and you never get used to it. You get used to not kissing until teeth have been brushed.

Shadowspring,

*It was taken care of by using toothbrush/toothpaste and mouth wash
when we get up in the morning. Just good dental hygiene... it's not a bad
habit to get into.

We don't get in each other's faces until we brush our teeth. That would just be plain rude. If we really just want to lay there and cuddle or talk, then we have mints we keep in the night stand. But no kissing until teeth are brushed!

I don't think anyone gets to the point of "not noticing". It's not something you one day just can't smell anymore! If someone gets in your face with morning breath, you're gonna notice!

umm...well, my husband feels a little offended that i don't want to kiss him first thing after we're both awake! i try to do the quickest little peck this side of heaven, but that doesn't appease him. seems he thinks married couples are just not supposed to mind that kind of stuff because we're one now. i know love endures all things, but geez....!

Somtimes it means "Dumb Husband" but we won't talk about that now.

I read an article on "morning breath" in the Washington Post several years ago. It seem that there are digestive processes that take place on the tongue which leave a sulfur residue, which is the root cause of morning breath. Not plaque, not forgetting to floss or any lack of hygenic practice.

French lovers would keep an apple beside the bed (a fresh one each night!) to share just a bite when they awoke. This cleanses the palette (the tongue) and quickly nuetralizes the breath.

Bon Appetit!
