How to Prevent Bad Breath ?

Here are some tips may help you prevent bad breath :

Practice good oral hygiene

Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque. Brush your teeth after you eat (keep a toothbrush at work or school to brush after lunch). Don’t forget to brush your tongue, too. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. Use floss or an interdental cleaner to remove food particles and plaque between your teeth once a day. Dentures should be removed at night and cleaned thoroughly before being placed in your mouth the next morning.

Try Odor-Free Eating

Maybe bacteria are not your problem. As you may know from personal experience, some foods can linger for days because their oils are absorbed in the bloodstream and then released when you breathe. Munching on the pungent herb parsley can help mask their smell. Bear in mind to avoid food lingers even when you know that you have an important meeting or social event to attend.

Drink lots of water

This will keep your mouth moist. Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also stimulates the production of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria.

Stop smoking/chewing tobacco-based products.

Ask your dentist for tips on kicking the habit.

Don’t Skip Meals

Skipping meals is bad. Make sure to eat three meals a day. The process of eating helps scrape bacteria off the tongue and stimulates the washing action of saliva. Also, as the time lengthens between meals, the mouth gets a chance to dry out and bacteria builds up.

Try Gargling

Gargle with a mouthwash for about 30 seconds every morning. It helps to flush out those bacteria. With gargling, you can really get to the back of the throat. Look out for products that contain zinc, sodium chloride, or other formulations that kill bacteria.
