Can baking soda be combined with anything to treat bad breath?
Disease description:
I experience severe bad breath every morning upon waking—it’s extremely unpleasant. Even after brushing my teeth, the odor returns after a short while. I’ve heard that baking soda can help treat halitosis, so I’d like to ask: What should baking soda be combined with to effectively treat bad breath?

Baking soda (sodium bicarbonate) combined with any other substance cannot treat halitosis. If halitosis occurs, it is often caused by impaired digestive function. Halitosis can be treated with medications; if it results from poor digestion, timely oral medication can help alleviate symptoms. However, maintaining good oral hygiene in daily life is essential.
