For daily care and fresh breath, use a fluoride toothpaste like the new Pepsodent Germicheck 8 which fights germs not just on your teeth, but also on the tongue, cheeks, and gums. The formula gives you 8 scientifically proven benefits, including 12 hours’ fresh breath. It contains the goodness of natural ingredients clove and neem oil, and CPC technology gives you whole mouth protection from germs that can cause bad breath.
We know there’s a lot of misinformation out there about bad breath, so let’s get the facts straight before we begin to tackle the problem.
Bad breath comes from the foods we eat
Yes, and no. When you consume food made with garlic or onion, the effect is only temporary. Chronic bad breath, on the other hand, is linked to high levels of volatile sulphur compounds, caused by anaerobic bacteria that build up on the back of the tongue as a result of poor oral hygiene.
I’d be able to tell if I had bad breath
You can’t tell if you have bad breath by cupping your hands between your mouth and nose. Bad smell originates in the back of the mouth, and is expelled forwards and out of your mouth only when you speak. If you’re worried you have bad breath, ask a close friend or a family member to test it for you.
Bad breath comes from the stomach
Not always. Occasionally it can be a symptom of gastrointestinal problems. But studies show that 85 percent of bad breath issues start at the back of the mouth, where sulphur-producing bacteria hide under the surface of the tongue. That’s why cleaning your tongue with a scraper is essential for fresher breath.

I brush my teeth, so I can’t have bad breath
Ensure that your brushing technique is correct and that you are brushing day and night with a fluoride toothpaste.
Brushing regularly removes germs and bacteria that cause bad breath. New Pepsodent Germicheck is formulated with CPC technology that fights germs for 12 hours to give you fresh breath and whole mouth action.
I can rinse with a mouthwash to control my bad breath
Mouthwashes can help to remove germs and bacteria that cause bad breath, but there may still be food particles stuck in different parts of your mouth that need to be removed by brushing.
Brushing day and night with a fluoride toothpaste can protect your mouth from bad breath. If you think you have chronic bad breath, you should speak to your doctor as it may be a sign of a medical condition. But don’t worry, whether chronic or short-term, bad breath is easy to control with a little bit of care every day.
