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.
