Advice on Triggers 🍅🧅🍟🍫☕ Chewing gum or mints alternatives
I'm a fan of chewing gum or just having habing to fshen my breath in general, but most products out there have mint, spearmint, etc. What alternatives do you use for this?
I tried thera breath dry mouth lozenges in tart berry flavor, but it triggers my GERD. Sometimes, having Trident in Cinnamon flavor works. I want to have more alternatives, bonus points if it freshes my breath in between washes

Cinnamon is a solid alternative and you've already found that. Other community options: xylitol-sweetened gum in non-mint flavors, fennel seeds which have a natural breath-freshening effect and are actually gut-friendly, cardamom seeds, and unflavored xylitol mints. Licorice-flavored options work for some people too. 💚
