Be confident.: Your Anxiety gets the better of you. You have done every thing right. Just more anxious that your imaginary problem. Use Lemon drops if you have dry mouth. Chew gum if you like and offer it your date at the same time:-) Enjoy and do not be embarrassed. Remember you are going on Date because some one likes as you are. So be yourself.

Source: If the date is not right away, hopefully get into dentist and get a good cleaning and advice/products. If right away, strongest breath mints (sugarless, of course,) and brush tongue

See your dentist: In the majority of cases, the cause of bad breath, or halitosis, is the product of bacteria in the mouth. The proper diagnosis is the key to a successful treatment. See your dentist for Halimeter test, diagnosis and bad breath treatment that depends on its cause. Good luck.

Relaxation: Though the anti axiety medication causes dryness, drinking regularly close to 64 ounces a day will reduce dryness. Mouth swish with hydrogen perioxide will hel reduce odor . Also use of mint will ensure fresh ment smell during your date. Then feel relaxed and enjoy your moment
