Beating back bad breath

Beating back bad breath

The first step to banishing bad breath is to keep your mouth squeaky clean, since bad breath is often caused by the decomposition of food left between the teeth..

Dentists recommend the following: .

1 Brush your teeth at least twice daily with a soft toothbrush. .

2 Massage carefully your gums around the teeth with the soft bristles. Use a rotating motion that doesnt pull your gums away from the teeth. .

3 Brush your tongue (the top part). .

4 Floss your teeth as thoroughly and as regularly as you brush them. Dentists usually have no preferences between waxed and unwaxed flosses. Either kind is good. H you have a dental bridge or other permanent dental appliances that make it difficult to use regular floss, try any of several brands of super floss. One end is stiff for easy threading between tooth and gum. Another part is fluffy, like a miniature bottle brush, to clean out hard-to-reach crevices. The third part is regular floss.

You should also have your teeth professionally cleaned at least twice yearly. During those cleanings ask the hygienist to show you how to brush and floss most effectively.

Diet helps in the battle against halitosis (bad breath) . Parsley and peppermint, for instance, are natural breath sweeteners, while onions and garlic often foul the breath. Though mouthwashes wont get at the causes of bad breath, they can momentarily freshen the breath. If your bad breath persists, it could be due to a gum or sinus infection or a stomach upset Also, infected tonsils often cause bad breath.
