Bad Breath, or Chronic Halitosis, is a common issue. It affects millions of people, including up to half of the middle-aged and older adults. You may have experienced this condition before, or noticed it with someone you care about, and suffice to say – Bad Breath can be extremely embarrassing! Fortunately, there are numerous ways to effectively fight bad breath and keep your mouth in tip-top condition on a daily basis:

KICK-OUT SOME OF YOUR PERSONAL HABITS

Do you need another reason to ditch drinking and smoking? Well, here’s a simple one: Drinking alcohol and smoking tobacco promotes bad breath! Alcohol & tobacco tends to dehydrate or dry-out the mouth, after which leaving an obnoxious smell that lingers throughout, even after brushing or washing your mouth.
You also need to put leniency on certain food spices that contribute to bad breath. Garlic and onion are on top of the list as they not only leave their sulfuric mark on your tongue, they are also absorbed by the bloodstream going directly to your lungs where the smell can freely escape as you breathe. Furthermore, once absorbed into your body, garlic and onion and emit a bitter smell from your pores. None of this, however, should be a reason to completely get rid of garlic and onion on your diet. Moderation is the key and, after consumption, you can flush off their residue by brushing your teeth and gargling with mouthwash.
Speaking of which, did you know that parsley can be more than that green garnish in your plate? Chewing on it thoroughly can be a quick breath-saver as parsley contains chlorophyll, a natural breath deodorizer. You can also toss a handful into your juicer/blender and sip the juice when you want a natural fix to freshen your breath.

KEEP THE WATER FLOWING

Remedy dry mouth. Certain medications (drugs) or health conditions may cause a persistent dry mouth. The lack of saliva flow in your mouth makes room for bacteria to multiply inside the mouth, resulting into distasteful odours. Be sure to drink an adequate amount of water (6-8 glasses a day) to help wash away food residues as well as the primary cause of a stinking bad breath – bacteria.
To help stimulate saliva flow inside your mouth, chew sugarless gum or suck on sugarless candy. Xylitol gum or lozenges are ideal as studies show that xylitol is actively beneficial to oral health by reducing the occurrence of teeth cavities to a third with regular use.
Munching on crispy, fresh vegetables/fruits can also promote saliva flow effectively while absorbing their healthy, natural vitamins & minerals. A piece of carrot, stick of celery, or an apple taken between meals steps up saliva flow to help clear away bacteria from your teeth, gums, and tongue that can cause bad breath. They may also help neutralize the acids in your empty stomach that emits a foul breath when you are trying to skip meals from fasting or dieting.
In cases of a chronic or extreme dry mouth from medical conditions or necessary medications, consult your dentist about recommending an over-the-counter/prescription saliva substitute.

BOOK FOR AN INTENSIVE CLEANING

Grab a professional to clean your mouth. If it has been a while since you’ve had your teeth and gums professionally cleaned, then it’s time to let the experienced hands do the job. Only a dental professional or oral hygienist can expertly remove hardened layers of bacteria called plaque or tartar that primarily causes that stinky smell in your mouth.
Plaque or tartar may also lead you to serious oral health conditions such as periodontal (gum) disease and tooth loss.

LEVEL UP YOUR ORAL HYGIENE

After having your mouth conditioned by professional hands, it’s up to you to maintain its tip-top condition on a day-to-day basis to prevent bad breath and plaque or other bacteria from coming back. Improving your oral hygiene is essential to maintain a fresh breath.
Brush your teeth properly, at least twice a day. To effectively remove food debris and avoid plaque from accumulating, brush for 2-3 minutes. You might also want to try brushing with baking soda from time to time to make it difficult for bad breath-causing bacteria to grow and reduce the acidity in your mouth at the same time. It is also necessary to brush/scrape your tongue when brushing your teeth to eliminate residues that tends to build up between the taste buds and folds. An inexpensive “tongue scraper” can do the job but if you can’t grab one in a drugstore, you can use your toothbrush to clean your tongue.
Flossing at least once a day equally important as it effectively gets rid of food debris from in-between the teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach. Food debris that is left in-between your teeth eventually allows bacteria to feed on it, causing a malodorous smell in your breath.
Gargling on a mouthwash also helps loosen food debris on the teeth and is a quick and convenient way to help achieve a fresh breath. However, you should keep in mind that a mouthwash will only mask the smell and won’t be an effective cure if your bad breath is originating from a dental problem. In some cases, a mouthwash may irritate you oral tissues and actually worsen the problem. Consult your dental professional for appropriate recommendation of a mouthwash or mouth rinse that is safe for your oral health condition.
