6 Ways To Fight Bad Breath by Hassan11: 5:40pm On Jul 20, 2013
Bad breath can be very embarrasing but it a common condition & there are ways to fight it.
1. Brush teeth twice daily especially before going to bed at night.
2. Floss regularly as this help to remove food debris from btw the teeth that toothbrush can't reach. If d debris is not removed the bacteria will begin to feed on it causing bad breath.
3. Scrape your tongue while brushing to remove any residue that may be building up btw the taste buds. You can buy an inexpensive tool called a tongue scraper which is available in drug stores.
4. Use a mouth rinse. Keep in mind that if a dental problem is the cause of bad breath, a mouth rinse will only mask the odour & not cure it. In some cases mouth rinse may actually worsen a bad breath problem by irritating oral tissue.
5. Wet your whistle by ensuring dat u drink a sufficient amount of water daily to avoid dry mouth. Drinking water will keep odour under control because it help wash food particles & bactaria.
6. Munch on a carrot, apple or stick of celery. Fruit & vegetables step up your saliva flow btw meals to help wash away bacteria from teeth.
Please note that one of the cause bad breath is hunger of fasting. An empty stomach from skipping meals can cause foul breath as acids in the stomach build up.
