Bad breath is commonly a result of poor oral care. Even though it’s quite easy to see a dentist today, inconvenience, fear, and costs often deter people from coming in for a visit. However, there are dozens of ways that your dentist can make the experience as painless and comfortable as possible for you. They can also offer financing options so that you can afford the care you need and deserve. Fortunately, you can beat bad breath with a few easy tips.
Come See Us!
Bad breath is also called halitosis, and the best way to get rid of it is with preventive dentistry. You should visit our office every six months so that we can find any problems and stem the issue before it gets out of hand.
Stay Clean
Brushing and flossing are required in order to fight off bad breath. Many people brush their teeth and stop there, but it’s important to brush your tongue, too, because it’s another source of bad breath. If your gums bleed while brushing or flossing, this is a sign of a gum infection, which means you need to see your dentist. We can remove the bacteria below the gum line before the build up and make matters worse.
Stay Hydrated
A dry mouth is also a cause of bad breath. You may have heard the term “morning breath,” and that comes from the fact that you produce less saliva in your sleep. Drinking water also helps because it washes your mouth for you, not to mention that water is simply good for you.
See Your Doctor
If you and your dentist have tried multiple ways to fix your bad breath, you should see a doctor. There may be deeper medical reasons behind your halitosis, and that is not something to ignore.
