Safe: It is safe to use cardamom to freshen breath. It would not do any harm if you swallowed the chewed pods. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Drink enough water daily so that your urine is mostly colorless. Practice safe sex.

Yes if Healthy: In moderation cardamom is safe to use if you are healthy. Brushing your teeth, gums and tongue with a clean unworn toothbrush and toothpaste after each meal and before bedtime will probably do more for your breath as well as keeping your mouth healthy.
