good breath
No mouth odor
Good breath is breath that doesn't smell bad—the neutral or pleasant state most people aim for.
Unlike bad breath, which gets noticed, good breath is typically unremarkable: I brushed my teeth so I'd have good breath for the interview.
The phrase appears most often in contexts of oral hygiene and social anxiety about smelling offensive.
