My 6 Tips Against Bad Breath
Scare (or at least reduce) people because of not very fresh breath is my obsession. Following are my 6 tips against bad breath.
1. toothbrush
Brush my teeth at least 2 times a day for 3 minutes, the basics to eliminate the bacteria that hang out (and cause bad smells).
I also think to brush my tongue (the smell often comes from there) and inside the cheeks, and I change my toothbrush every 2 to 3 months to avoid a “doormat” (some remind me every single time where we must change!).
Finally, I adopt a new habit: floss. The Americans are crazy, so I like them: I spend between your teeth every night (far from the eyes of my nigga, it goes without saying) to eliminate a maximum of deposits and bacteria.
2. (bad) digestion
If step intensive tooth brushing is not enough, is that the problem may be elsewhere.
For example, some foods that I digest evil and “back”: garlic and onions, fatty sauces, alcohol … As many enemies as I eat in moderation, if at all.
Otherwise, I rely on dietary supplements (based on parsley, for example) that act on the stomach, with advice from my doctor or my pharmacist.
3. home remedies
There is always a solution to the bottom of the garden granny. In this case: a few cloves, fresh chopped parsley or fennel seeds to chew.
It’s green, organic, cheap … And it works temporarily, for example if I forgot my toothbrush. By cons, beware of traps, I check after I have no residue stuck between the teeth!
Not bad either: an infusion of mint, lemon balm and licorice instead of coffee after a meal.
4. chewing gum (sugar free)
Ok, this is a “hide misery” which does not treat the cause, but it’s better than nothing, especially at work or before an appointment.
Main interest: it cleans teeth and it makes your mouth water, a good place to kill bacteria. Indispensable for example smoking, especially if they are mint for effect “freshness”.
Obviously, I choose sugar-free since the latter tends to foster the development of bacteria in the mouth. And to avoid dry mouth which gives me bad breath, I also think drinking a lot (of water)!
5. essential oils
For fresh breath for a few hours, I put on a mouthwash home with a drop of peppermint essential oil (or lemon, basil and thyme) poured into a glass of water.
I walk the liquid in my mouth in all directions by inflating cheeks before spitting.Not very classy, but effective!
6. dentist
The bad smells, it does not necessarily do with what I ate in the canteen, it may also be related to a dental or oral type cavities, abscesses, ulcers …. And it does not work when they are ill treated.
Results: obligatory visit to my dentist at least once a year. Incidentally, it checks the state of my gums and offers me a scaling.
