Treatment:
To reduce bad breath, consistently practice
good oral hygiene. Further treatment for bad breath can vary, depending on the
cause. If your bad breath is thought to be caused by an underlying health
condition, your dentist will likely refer you to your general physician.
For causes related to
oral health, your dentist will work with you to help you better control that
condition. Dental measures may include:
·
Mouth
rinses and toothpastes. If
your bad breath is due to a buildup of bacteria (plaque) on your teeth, your
dentist may recommend a mouth rinse that kills the bacteria. Your dentist may
also recommend a toothpaste that contains an antibacterial agent to kill the
bacteria that cause plaque buildup.
·
Treatment
of dental disease. If you have gum
disease, you may be referred to a gum specialist. Gum disease
can cause gums to pull away from your teeth, leaving deep pockets that fill
with odor-causing bacteria. Sometimes only professional cleaning removes these
bacteria. Your dentist might also recommend replacing faulty tooth
restorations, a breeding ground for bacteria.
- Do
Brush And Floss – Plaque
is a sticky film that forms on your teeth and accumulates microorganisms
that produce bad breath. Food that has been trapped adds to the situation.
At least twice a day, brush your teeth and floss at least once. If you’re
worried about your breathing, do both more frequently. But be careful not
to overdo it. Brushing your teeth too forcefully can wear them down and
leave them vulnerable to decay.
- It
Is Important To Rinse Your Mouth – Aside
from refreshing your breath, mouthwash also provides additional protection
by removing microorganisms. The taste of fresh mint might make you feel
fantastic. However, make certain that the mouthwash you select destroys
the microorganisms that cause bad breath. Don’t simply mask the odor. Stop
bad breath at its root by rinsing with a decent mouthwash on a daily
basis. Swishing your mouth with plain water after eating might also aid
your breath. It can remove food particles caught between your teeth.
- Do
Scrape Your Tongue – The
natural coating that grows on your tongue can serve as a breeding ground
for stinky bacteria. Brush your tongue gently with your toothbrush to get
rid of them. If your brush is too big to reach the back of your tongue
comfortably, use a scraper.
- No
Intake Of Food That Sours Your Breath – The compounds that create their foul odors enter your
circulation and travel to your lungs, where they are exhaled. What is the
most effective method of resolving the issue? Don’t consume them, or at
the very least stay away from them before going to work or seeing friends.
- Give
Up The Tobacco Habit – Smoking
can harm your gums, discolor your teeth, and give you poor breath, in
addition to causing cancer. Nicotine patches sold over-the-counter can
help you control your cravings. Make an appointment with your doctor to
discuss stop-smoking programs or prescription drugs that can help you quit
smoking for good if you need it.
- It
Is Important To Stay Hydrated – A
dry mouth can also be the reason for bad breath. Therefore, make sure that
you drink an adequate amount of water on a regular basis. This will lead
to the proper flow of saliva into your mouth.
- Do Consult Your Dentist – If adopting these measures is not yielding any fruitful results, do not hesitate to consult the dentist.
