Bad breath can be really embarrassing and may make you self-conscious. There are many different products available to combat bad breath in the market. There are also some preventative measures you can take.
The best way to prevent bad breath is proper oral care at home. Brushing and flossing regularly can help against the formation of bacteria in the mouth, which is often associated with bad breath. Also, any food particles and other foreign materials stuck in the mouth can end up causing your breath to smell too.
For a temporary fix at home, you can use mouthwash. However, it is not recommended to depend on it every single time and correct steps should be followed when you use it to combat bad breath.
Any dental items like dentures or retainers should be cleaned every night. These can carry bad bacteria over from the previous day and hence should be kept clean for oral hygiene.
Smoking is a huge contributor to bad breath. Quitting cigarettes will be very beneficial for both preventing bad breath and the general oral hygiene of your mouth.
If your bad breath does not subside, it is important to speak with us as it can be a symptom of another underlying issue.
