> Quick tricks mask rather than solve. Compare mints, gum and rinses by how long they last and what they leave behind.

## Guides
- [Sugar-Free Mints: Quick Notes](https://breath-mints-vs-gum.rujopujo.workers.dev/sugar-free-mints/): Sugar free mints give a quick burst of flavor and are a reasonable option when you cannot brush, because they do not feed the bacteria in your mouth the way.
- [Chewing Gum and Saliva Flow](https://breath-mints-vs-gum.rujopujo.workers.dev/chewing-gum-saliva-breath/): Chewing sugar-free gum encourages saliva, and saliva is one of the mouth's natural ways of rinsing itself, which is why chewing gum saliva breath is a sensible.
- [Alcohol-Free Rinses for Breath](https://breath-mints-vs-gum.rujopujo.workers.dev/alcohol-free-rinse-breath/): An alcohol free rinse can leave the mouth feeling fresh and may be gentler on a dry or sensitive mouth than a strong alcohol-based product.
- [Masking vs Addressing the Cause](https://breath-mints-vs-gum.rujopujo.workers.dev/masking-vs-solving/): Mints, gum and rinses mostly cover or dilute odor for a short time, while the usual sources are bacteria on the tongue and between the teeth, dry mouth, food.
- [A Pocket Breath Kit](https://breath-mints-vs-gum.rujopujo.workers.dev/carry-kit-breath/): A good carry kit breath setup is small: water, sugar-free mints or gum, a travel toothbrush with fluoride toothpaste, and something to clean between your teeth.
