Common conclusions
Regular brushing of teeth is important to prevent the occurrence of bad breath. However, if you fail to clean your mouth after eating, cavity-causing bacteria may build up, causing your mouth to smell bad.
If you have bad oral health, plaque may build up and, if not removed, can contribute to bad breath. Make it a habit to rinse and floss your teeth to keep them fresh and moist.
Vices contribute greatly to both teeth and mouth problems. Tooth cavity may not be the main cause of bad breath, but it contributes greatly, especially if you smoke or eat unhealthy food. Such habits weaken the enamel and produce plaque. On the other side, fasting or starvation can also cause bad breath.
Electric brush can help in removing food particles where bacteria could grow. It also has timers where you can brush your teeth for a longer time to prevent bad breath.
One contributor to awful breath aside from tooth decay is food debris and dead cells in your mouth. Clean your tongue whenever you brush your teeth to give your mouth overall oral health care.
Use a mouthwash with fluoride and alcohol content to protect your enamel and prevent the spread of cavities in your teeth. It can also help in freshening your breath, as well as removing the plaques and bacteria.
dental check-up is a must if you’ve been suffering from a terrible breath smell. This will help in enlightening you as to what food and habits to avoid to put an end to a stinky breath.
Visit your dentist whenever possible to check your oral health. Not all the time; tooth decay is the cause of bad breath. It could be another mouth problem that needs proper care.
