How You Can Eliminate Bad Breath

Posted on 10/11/2021 by Life Long Dental

Our teeth see use every day. We talk, we eat, we drink, and at the forefront of all of it are our teeth. These boney pearly whites do so much for us and shape the way we experience our daily lives. As a result of so much wear, it is likely to come across the possibility that perhaps the smell of our breath is not perfect, or even ideal. The unfortunate situation is simply referred to as having bad breath, but there are many easy ways to combat it.

How to Eliminate Bad Breath

In order to understand what is best for getting rid of bad breath, it is important to understand bad breath itself. Bad breath exists when bacteria have time to grow and reproduce. When the bacteria feed on leftover microscopic amounts of food, they end up producing a foul odor that is unpleasant. Getting at the root of this noxious bacteria will ensure fresher breath.

Simply brushing your teeth goes a long way as it covers a decent amount of area and coverage of bacteria so that it can not survive and wreak havoc. Brushing teeth is only one-half of the battle, though. Flossing gets in between the teeth that could not get brushed as well. One final remedy is utilizing mouthwash to combat the bacteria that neither brushing nor flossing had been able to remove. Tongue and mouth scrapers also clean a lot of the bacteria that produce foul odors.

Finally, one simple and free method is choosing meals that won't make bad breath worse. Avoiding foods that are overly sweet and also avoiding tobacco products can make a huge difference in your breath. This may be easier said than done, but now there are several ways to have fresh breath more often. If you have any questions regarding fresh breath, do not hesitate to contact our office today.
