How can I quickly wash my mouth after eating when I barely get time to eat?

After I ate lunch, a patient said my breath smelled like garlic and pasta which was what I had for lunch. I was so embarrassed, I wished I couldve just passed out right there. That way, I can go to the ER and my breath would be the last thing on anyones minds. I tried to appear unbothered by it and said I had pasta with some garlic in it for lunch. But after I got done with her, I went to the break room and sprayed some perfume on myself. I barely even had time to eat. I dont want to chew gum because thats unprofessional and unsanitary. Could I cover potent smells with breath mints?

    Why not just brush your teeth after you eat.

    Don't eat garlic at work.

    And perfume will not cover bad breath.

    Fill this up with Listerine and take to work. To freshen your breath, flip the top and squirt a shot into your mouth. Swish and gargle.

    Most perfumes are just about as bad as garlic anyway

    Carry a travel size bottle of mouth wash along with a travel tooth brush kit and use them after lunch. Don't eat food with a strong odor.

    I find a bite of apple works well to mitigate garlic smells. Dessert?

    Plus you are entitled by law to a 30 minute break. You need to take that break. Don't cheat yourself. Plan your day and workload so that you indeed take your break then you can eat and brush your teeth and maybe even use the toilet!

    Smart mouth makes travel packets. Tear, swish, and go. Or just bring a toothbrush.
