1. MasterMedi Flexible Metal Tongue Scrapers (20% Off)
When asked about the best ways to eliminate stubborn bad breath, St. Louis-based board-certified orthodontist Dr. Erin Fraundorf previously stated that tongue scraping is "possibly the most important and effective" method for eliminating bad breath because it promotes the right balance of good bacteria in the mouth. She recommended these flexible tongue scrapers, which have over 9,500 ratings on Amazon. Made from 100% authentic copper, they are easier to clean than plastic and do not harbor bacteria. The ergonomic U-shaped design is flexible, allowing coverage of the entire tongue in one pass or targeting specific areas. They come with two cases for easy storage or travel.

Dr. Erin Fraundorf also recommended this dentist-created mouthwash for targeting bad breath. It has earned 4.6 out of 5 stars on Amazon from over 47,600 ratings. The TheraBreath formula is alcohol-free, as alcohol can dry out the mouth and kill good bacteria, leading to an imbalance that causes bad breath. Instead, it uses oxygen to fight bad bacteria and bad breath for up to 24 hours.
