Here’s your 1 minute dating tip about your breath:

Do:

Have fresh, minty breath! You might give your date a quick “hello” kiss on the cheek… or if your date goes well, you might give good-night kiss!

Be prepared!

Always use mouthwash and swish for 1 minute before brushing your teeth.

Use dental floss daily.

Also keep tasty mints in your car and/or in your purse or pocket, and pop one in your mouth right before meeting with your date.

Don’t:

Have stinky breath!

If this is from overall dental health, visit your dentist, pronto! Get a good teeth cleaning (which should be done every 6 months).

If you have date planned for the evening, stay away from heavy garlicky or onion-y foods for lunch.
