Time to Fight Bad Breath!

Do you suffer from bad breath? Are you constantly chewing gum or popping mints in your mouth? If this is you, or if you know of someone who suffers from bad breath then read this article to learn or share about ways to help fight bad break the natural way.

• Drink water – Drinking water and rinsing your mouth will help to eliminate food particles from your mouth so you avoid bad breath.
• Brush and Floss – Making sure to brush and/or floss after you eat is very important. If you can manage to brush your teeth after every meal you can avoid staining your teeth and allowing food to stay stuck to your teeth or lodged between your teeth. If you’re not brushing or at least rinsing your mouth with water after you eat, this can be a cause of bad breath. In addition to brushing, don’t forget to floss and also scrape your tongue with a tongue scraper so that you’re less likely to get dead cells on your tongue and plaque buildup around your teeth.
• Dental Checkups and Cleaning – Be sure to schedule regular checkups and cleanings so that you can be sure your teeth are extra clean and healthy.
• Toothbrush – It is a good idea to change your toothbrush form time to time. You never want to go a whole year using the same brush, as it most likely will collect some food particles which might form bacteria.
• Mouthwash – If you aren’t able brush or floss, at least try to rinse with a mouthwash. A mouthwash can help kill bacteria and help make your mouth stay minty fresh.

Hopefully these tips will help prevent you from getting bad breath. For further questions or concerns, speak with your orthodontist or dentist to find out other ways in which you can stop bad breath.
