Bad breath can be caused by many things. Sometimes bad breath can be caused by medical conditions, but many times to cure bad breath you just have to step up your oral hygiene routine. If you don't have a medical condition that is causing your bad breath, flossing and frequent brushing can help.

Why Do You Get Bad Breath?

The common cause of most bad breath is the waste product that is called volatile sulfur compounds. This is created by anaerobic bacteria in your mouth that is from the food that gets stuck between your teeth after eating. That is why it is so important to brush your teeth after every meal. This can go a long way to cure bad breath just by itself.

When you have leftover food stuck in your teeth it increases the amount of food available for the bacteria to grow. It also adds to the attractiveness of the environment where bacteria prefer to live. Those who are on a vegetarian style diet have less need to cure bad breath. The proteins that are in meat cause much of the bacteria to flourish in your mouth.

How Keeping Your Gums and Teeth Clean To Cure Bad Breath

The bacterium responsible for bad breath lives in the plaque that accumulates around, as well as on your teeth. It can also go below the gum line and cause problems that may need serious dental attention if you let it go too long. When you brush your teeth thoroughly numerous times a day, it gets rid of any bacteria that are lurking in your mouth and can help to cure bad breath. Flossing daily is also important. This helps to eliminate plaque and bacteria that have settled onto your teeth and below the line of your gums.

You need to keep in mind, to cure bad breath that is caused by bacteria, you need to cut off the food supply so that they cannot spread and take over your mouth. Flossing is a huge factor in keeping your breath clean and fresh. It can not be stressed enough how important this part of your dental routine is and should be.

~Change Your Toothbrush EVERY 3 Months!!~PLease  grin



The Best Toothbrush For You 

In order to choose the best toothbrush that provides you with adequate teeth cleaning, you should know that a modern toothbrush must have :

~ Head size that you feel comfortable in your mouth and allows you to reach comfortably to the back teeth.
~ Anatomic grip to help you make the correct toothbrushing moves
~ Head design that helps cleaning at all the teeth surfaces even at difficult areas as the spaces between the teeth.
~ Nylon bristles (natural bristles wear out easier and allow the growth of bacteria).
~Rounded end of bristles to avoid damaging the gums.
~ Your dentist will advise you for the right toothbrush hardness (soft or medium) and type according to your specific needs, mouth shape and dental problems. In general, the safest choice is a soft toothbrush!!


When To Change Your Toothbrush

The bristles of the toothbrush wear out during brushing, so after some time they don't provide adequate cleaning and may injure the gums. To have always the best results from brushing you must change the toothbrush : 

~Every 3-4 months 
~Immediately after the bristles start to loose their natural position on the head of the toothbrush 
~After a cold or flu


* Children toothbrushes have to be changed more often since they wear out easier. *

Toothbrush is a strictly personal item, do not share it with anyone else. That would increase the risk of infections transmission, due to the exchange of body fluids and microbes between the users.



How To Store Your Toothbrush 

The right way of storing your toothbrush will allow you to keep it in good shape for a longer period. -To achieve it, after every brushing :
 
~Wash and rinse well the toothbrush to remove any remaining toothpaste, food debris and bacteria. 
~Store it in upright position in a well ventilated area to help drying
~Do not cover the toothbrush head or put it in a closet, at least not before it dries completely. The moisture that remains on the toothbrush may help the growth of bacteria.
~If your toothbrush is stored in the same holder with another person's tooth brush, keep them separated to avoid cross contamination.
