    Extra-Strength Altoids work to mask bad breath by temporarily freshening it with a variety of flavors, including peppermint, wintergreen, cinnamon and others. Users will experience freshened breath while consuming the breath mint and shortly thereafter.

    On the Other: Won't Cure Bad Breath

    Extra-Strength Altoids will not cure bad breath. Perpetual bad breath, called halitosis, can be caused by a variety of factors including excess bacteria in the mouth, gum disease and dry mouth. Bad breath can also be caused by infection deep within the body; all of these causes must be determined by a dentist.

    Bottom Line

    Breath mints such as Extra-Strength Altoids can be used to help freshen breath, but should only be used as a temporary fix. If bad breath is recurring and can't be handled by routine care, a dentist can help determine the cause and recommend a course of treatment to help cure bad breath.
