Breath Center

Some things you can do to help combat bad breath.

  • Visit your dentist regularly.
  • Have your teeth cleaned periodically by a dental hygienist.
  • Always remember to floss. Choosing unscented floss enables you to detect areas
    between your teeth that give off odors so you can clean them more
    carefully. 
  • Brush your teeth and gums properly. Ask your dentist to
    recommend a toothbrush or scraper for your tongue. Clean your tongue
    all the way back gently, but thoroughly.
  • Drink plenty of liquids.
  • Chew sugar-free gum, especially if your mouth
    feels dry.
  • Clean your mouth after eating or drinking milk products, fish and meat.
  • Get control over the problem. Ask a family member to tell you whenever you have bad breath.
  • If someone in your family or a close friend has bad breath, find a kind way to let them know.
  • Ask your dentist to recommend a mouthwash which has been
    shown to be clinically effective in fighting bad breath.

Professional diagnosis and treatment can be of benefit in analyzing your particular cause of bad breath and help with a possible solution.
