Afternoon or evening breath 

 

 

Your breath is worse as the day progresses. Your mouth can dry out as the day progresses for a variety of reasons and this can allow bacteria to get to work producing their smells inside your mouth. Often the drying effect is a general one:

 

you may not drink enough water (most other drinks do not re-hydrate you in the way that water does)

 

you may drink too much coffee or alcohol (the liquid you take in through drinking coffee or alcohol is lost and then some more on top for each drink you take as both these drinks actually make you urinate more than you have drunk)

 

you may be working in an environment that is too hot so that you lose too much moisture through perspiration

 

Or the drying effect may be localised to your mouth:

you may be speaking a lot throughout the day and so your mouth will dry out

 

you may be under stress at work: the chemicals and hormones released during stressful events will actually dry your mouth out as a side effect

 

In each circumstance the remedy should be obvious:

 

Try to drink more water, cut down on coffee and alcohol, turn the radiator down, if you have to talk a lot take regular sips of water in between and tell your boss that you need to do less work on your dentist’s advice (well it’s worth a try anyway.)
