Bad Breath
Bad breath —or Halitosis — may be due to poor oral hygiene. Everyone gets bad breath from time to time — especially after eating food like garlic onion etc. But bad breath that doesn’t go away (chronic halitosis) could mean you have an oral health issue.
Reasons of Bad breath
It can also occur due to a number of other health conditions, including dry mouth, heartburn or even disease in another part of your body.
The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene, due to which harmful bacteria invade your mouth and multiply out of control. This leads to many oral health issues like bad breath, cavities and gum disease.
If you have bad breath that doesn’t go away, schedule an appointment with your dentist. If halitosis is due to poor oral hygiene, a dental cleaning or periodontal (gum) procedure should help. If you have healthy teeth and gums, then halitosis may be linked to an issue in another part of your body.
Few tips to prevent bad breath-
- Brush twice a day, for at least two minutes each time, and floss.
- Remember to clean your tongue with brush or tongue scraper
- Visit dentist regularly for check-ups and cleaning, every six months cleaning is recommended.
- Keep yourself hydrated by drinking lot of water.
- Boost your saliva production by eating healthy food that requires lots of chewing, you can also use sugar-free chewing gum.
- Avoid alcohol, caffeine as they dry out your mouth
