Embarrassing...init?

Has someone told you that you have bad breath? Ok lets take it this way have you
told someone they have a bad breath? Aight! As a friend or family member you can offer sugar free chewing gum, mint..bla bla. But as for stranger keep your distance..ooppss! Anyway many people have bad breath (halitosis) without realizing it.
Reasons people experience bad breath could be;

• The food they eat & digestion
• Infrequent brushing & flossing
• Dry mouth
• Oral disease and infection
• Other Medical condition
• Cigarette smoking

Fast-forward, we don't need to bore you about mouth odour instead we want to remind you that there are still ways you can fight against bad breath now Valentine is around the corner. There is still Hope.

• Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth thoroughly after every meal to remove food particle from the mouth.
• When you are brushing your teeth, also brush your tongue. The tongue is covered with thousands of tiny hairs that can trap bacteria.
• Have regular check-ups with your dentist to rule out gum disease and to correct any faulty restorations, overhanging fillings or leaking crowns, all of which can trap food in the mouth.
• Chew sugarless gum or suck on sugarless lozenges to increase the flow of saliva.
• If your mouth is dry, drink plenty of water. Try swooshing it around in your mouth for at least twenty seconds to loosen any food particles the bacteria can feed upon.
• Avoid breath mints and mouthwashes that contain alcohol. Instead of helping, they can make things worse. They only temporarily cover the smell and tend to dry the mouth, creating a more favorable environment for bacteria.
• Snacking on vegetables such as raw celery or carrots can keep plaque from forming.
• If you are going to an important meeting or on a big date, avoid foods that can cause bad breath, such as onions and garlic.
• Avoid alcohol and caffeine consumption, which can dry the mouth.
• Quit smoking. Tar and nicotine can build up on the surface of the teeth, tongue and cheeks. It can also dry the mouth and inhibit saliva flow.
• Chlorophyll is a natural breath freshener and is found in leafy green vegetables like parsley.
• A few drops of peppermint or tea tree oil can be applied to the tongue or toothbrush to help freshen the breath. In addition to its refreshing nature, their antibacterial properties will kill the bacteria found in the mouth.
• Baking soda has a long history of being used to maintain good oral health and for fighting bad breath.
• A mixture of 50% hydrogen peroxide and 50% water can be swooshed around in the mouth and used as a mouthwash. Hydrogen peroxide can kill many of the bacteria that can cause bad breath.
