Is there a real cure for bad breath?  Unfortunately, the cures for halitosis are just like the remedies for dirty dishes – an ongoing process that regularly needs to be attended to. 

Some of the ways to stop bad breath can be one time or fairly simple to deal with.  If you have a dental problem, have the dentist take care of it.  If you eat onions, grin and bear it and try for a temporary cover-up to that stinky onion breath.  In the long term, you can do several things on an on-going basis to be sure that you have fresh breath every day.
