More than ever, people tend to notice bad breath on others. Perhaps this stems from working in smaller office spaces, high density living, or simply we’ve just become too aseptic? Whatever the case may be, here are some tips to conquer bad breath, otherwise known as halitosis:

  • Keep your mouth clean – brush properly twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, plus floss and use an alcohol-free mouthwash to remove oral debris.
  • Brush you tongue – concentrate on the back area to remove foul smelling bacteria.
  • Keep up your fluids – drink plenty of water to make sure your mouth doesn’t become dry, as saliva contains vital protective enzymes that kill bad bacteria.
  • Watch what you eat – be aware that foods such as onions and garlic contain sulfur compounds that cause bad breath.
  • Switch to tea – drink black or green tea to inhibit the growth of bad bacteria.
  • Increase your fresh fruit and vegetable intake – eating fresh produce naturally removes plaque and food particles from your gums and in-between your teeth.
  • Chew sugarless gum – helps to keep your mouth from drying out.

Just remember that most cases of bad breath occur from having a build up of plaque on your teeth, which can only be removed by a dentist, hence, the importance of keeping up with regular professional cleanings. If you still experience unpleasant breath after following these tips, best to seek advise from a doctor, as it may indicate an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, sinus infections, GI disorders, or liver and kidney problems. Say goodbye to bad breath and enjoy fresh breath every day!
