I have a followup with the oral surgeon tomorrow. I'm starving - waiting for Jeff and DH to get off work and get home so we can grill. I just snitched some of the garlic bread I made while it's still soft and I can chew it - it just dawned on me I'm going to have MAJOR dragon breath tomorrow for the oral surgeon!

LOL Karen! Lemonade is supposed to help (notice I said help, not cure ) bad breath from fish or garlic. Why do you have to see the surgeon? I hope all goes well with your visit and your appointment tomorrow.

Follow up from oral surgery........geez, I hate to go in there smelling like garlic!

Chew some gum before you go in or suck on a mint...I'm sure they have smelt worse than garlic breath.

Karen, if you have any fresh parsley, chew a few leaves and swallow. It counteracts the oils in the garlic and will reduce the odor.

No fresh parsley, but I did attempt to suck a lemon last night. Darn near killed me too! LOL But I *think* it helped, I don't have that *garlic hangover* taste in my mouth this morning! Thanks for the advice, I'm going to try to remember the lemon and the parsley for *next* time.
