Curing Bad Breath

So we have learnt why we get bad breath and how embarrassing it can be for us but...

How do we get rid of bad breath?

Let’s start with the very basics we learn from a young age

Brushing your teeth twice a day is a great start and is very important. Flossing your teeth and brushing you tongue (gently) is also very important to remove food particles and bacteria from between your teeth where brushing may miss..

Mouthwash will also help bad breath but will only mask the bad breath it will not fix the problem so it’s a great option for those nice quiet, romantic evenings in with your partner until you both wake up in the morning.

Chewing gum - chew gum until your jaw can not chew gum anymore! Why? Looking back at our reasons for bad breath I explained how saliva washes down bacteria, well the more gum you chew the more saliva you’re producing, the less chance you have of getting bad breath. This is all very simple once explained.

One last thing on chewing gum, go for a sugar free gum its better for your teeth and will also produce more saliva than an average mint sweet would.

Treating bad breath is easy once you not what is causing it. It's finding out the problem which can sometimes not be as easy.

A great and easy way of checking for any oral problems is to visit your dentist regularly or at least when you suspect something is not quite how it should be.

Things you can do at home for your bad breath:

- Brush your teeth at least twice a day.

- Change your toothbrush every 3-4 months.

- Spend 2 minutes minimum brushing your teeth.

- Ensure when brushing your teeth you are covering all areas of your mouth.

- Mouthwash can be used just be for you go to bed as well as using your toothbrush.

- Use a second toothbrush or scraper for your mouth to use on your tongue to keep bacteria at a minimum.
