Bad Breath? Tips to get rid of the problem.

Halitosis (bad breath) is an oral health problem where the main symptom is bad smelling breath. In most cases, finding the cause of the bad breath is the first step toward treating this preventable condition.

Causes:

1. Specific food
   
   
   
   
   
   
2. Tobacco and alcohol consumption
   
   
   
3. Poor dental hygiene
   
   
   
4. Dry mouth.
5. Medications: Some medications can indirectly produce bad breath by contributing to dry mouth. Others can be broken down in the body to release chemicals that can be carried on your breath.
6. Many diseases can causes halitosis: Seasonal allergies, Respiratory tract infections, post nasal drip, diabetes, Chronic acid reflux, Chronic lung infection, Gastrointestinal issues, Liver and kidney diseases.

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.

Coffee contains ingredients called tannins, which are a type of polyphenol that breaks down in water. They are also found in beverages like wine or tea. Tannins cause color compounds to stick to your teeth. When these compounds stick, they can leave an unwanted yellow hue behind.

Stained teeth are often treated with complete cleaning (scaling) of teeth and teeth whitening procedure.

Floss like a Boss

 

Floss like a Boss

Flossing is an important oral hygiene habit. It cleans and dislodges food stuck between your teeth, which reduces the amount of bacteria and plaque in your mouth.

Improper flossing can potentially damage your teeth and gums.

The ADA recommends flossing at least once per day and brushing twice per day.

When should you floss

 Generally recommended to floss and then brush your teeth. Flossing helps lift and release food and plaque stuck in between your teeth, while brushing removes these particles from your mouth. If you brush first and floss afterward, food and plaque remains in your mouth until the next time you brush.

Types of dental floss

Standard floss: This is a thin, nylon strand that can fit in between teeth. It comes flavored or unflavored as well as waxed or unwaxed. If your teeth are crowded or closer together, dental floss with a wax coating can make it easier to get in between them.

Super floss:This dental floss threader can work with braces, bridges, and gaps. It has three components: a stiffened end for flossing underneath appliances, spongy floss to clean around your appliances, and regular floss to eliminate plaque underneath your gumline.

Water Flosser: It which uses water and pressure to remove plaque and food from in between teeth. A water flosser is also useful if you have braces. This device can clean in between brackets and wires.

Disposable floss picks: They’re easy to use and can help you floss hard-to-reach teeth in the back of your mouth.

Flossing instructions

1. ·         Take about 18 to 24 inches of dental floss. To hold the floss correctly, wind most of the floss around both of your middle fingers. Leave only about 1 to 2 inches of floss for your teeth.
2. ·         Next, hold the floss taut with your thumbs and index fingers.
   
3. ·         Place the dental floss in between two teeth. Gently glide the floss up and down, rubbing it against both sides of each tooth. Don’t glide the floss into your gums. This can scratch or bruise your gums.
   
4. ·         As the floss reaches your gums, curve the floss at the base of the tooth to form a C shape. This allows the floss to enter the space between your gums and your tooth.
5. ·         Repeat the steps as you move from tooth to tooth. With each tooth, use a new, clean section of floss.

Water Flosser:

Many people find water flossing easier and more pleasant than using string floss, and they may floss more often as a result. It was also 26% better than flossing and 53% better than just brushing in terms of reducing bleeding gums. The ability to manipulate the water flosser to direct the water towards the teeth and gums makes it a lot easier to use when cleaning.

Gum disease prevention and treatment is another reason to use a water flosser. Water Flossers are clinically proven to reduce gingivitis, remove plaque, and improve gum health. It is especially useful for cleaning braces and other orthodontics, as well as cleaning bridges, crowns, and dental implants.

Water flossers are helpful for people with dexterity issues, such as arthritis, who find string flossing difficult.

How to use a water flosser

·         Supply the water source — This may mean connecting it to the water tap or filling the reservoir with lukewarm water. 

·         Placement — Place the nozzle in your mouth and, starting with your molars, hold the irrigator away from your teeth and gums rather than directly against them. You may want to lean over the sink now, so you don’t splash water on your countertop when you turn it on. 

·         Select pressure setting and turn on — There will be either an on-button or a dial that adjusts the water pressure. Start with the lowest pressure setting and work your way up. Make sure the pressure is high but comfortable. You can close your lips to prevent the water splashing but be sure to allow the water to drain out into the sink. 

·         Follow gum line — Going tooth-by-tooth, direct the water at your gum line and areas between teeth. Aim for the top of the tooth, baseline of the gum, and the space between each tooth. Hold the water over each tooth for about two seconds, repeating the process on the inside and outside of your teeth until your whole mouth is treated. It should take you about two minutes to complete. 

·         Empty the reservoir — Once you’re done, turn off the device, remove the nozzle and drain the remaining water. Leaving stale water in your reservoir can cause bacteria to grow. 

·         Clean your device — Remember to rinse your water flosser’s reservoir after every session, to ensure it is hygienic.
