Exchanging passionate kisses with big-screen star Jennifer Lawrence might sound like a dream come true. But according to Liam Hemsworth, her Hunger Games<\/em> co-star, it could also be a nightmare\u2026 because J.Law\u2019s breath wasn\u2019t always fresh. \u201cAnytime I had to kiss Jennifer was pretty uncomfortable,\u201d Hemsworth said on The Tonight Show<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lawrence said the problem resulted from her inadvertently consuming tuna or garlic before the lip-locking scenes; fortunately, the two stars were able to share a laugh about it later. But for many people, bad breath is no joke. It can lead to embarrassment and social difficulties \u2014 and it occasionally signifies a more serious problem. So what causes bad breath, and what can you do about it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 9 out of 10 cases, bad breath originates in the mouth. (In rare situations, it results from a medical issue in another part of the body, such as liver disease or a lung infection.) The foul odors associated with bad breath can be temporarily masked with mouthwash or breath mints \u2014 but in order to really control it, we need to find out exactly what\u2019s causing the problem, and address its source.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Lawrence and Hemsworth found out, some foods and beverages can indeed cause a malodorous mouth. Onions, garlic, alcohol and coffee are deservedly blamed for this. Tobacco products are also big contributors to bad breath \u2014 which is one more reason to quit. But fasting isn\u2019t the answer either: stop eating for long enough and another set of foul-smelling substances will be released. Your best bet is to stay well hydrated and snack on crisp, fresh foods like celery, apples or parsley.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And speaking of hydration (or the lack of it): Mouth dryness and reduced salivary flow during the nighttime hours is what causes \u201cmorning breath.\u201d Certain health issues and some medications can also cause \u201cdry mouth,\u201d or xerostomia. Drinking plenty of water can encourage the production of healthy saliva \u2014 but if that\u2019s not enough, tell us about it: We may recommend switching medications (if possible), chewing xylitol gum or using a saliva substitute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, maintaining excellent oral hygiene is a great way to avoid bad breath. The goal of oral hygiene is to control the harmful bacteria that live in your mouth. These microorganisms can cause gum disease, tooth decay, and bad breath \u2014 so keeping them in check is good for your overall oral health. Remember to brush twice and floss once daily, stay away from sugary foods and beverages, and visit the dental office regularly for checkups and professional cleanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So did J.Law apologize for the malodorous makeout session? Not exactly. \u201c[For] Bradley Cooper, Christian Bale, yeah, I\u2019ll brush my teeth,\u201d she laughed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hemsworth jokingly agreed: \u201cIf I was kissing Christian Bale I probably would have brushed my teeth too. With you, it\u2019s like, \u2018Eh. Whatever.\u2019\u201dIf you would like more information about bad breath and oral hygiene, please contact us<\/a> or schedule an appointment<\/a> for a consultation.
