How to Prevent Bad Breath

In our last blog, we gave some great insights into bad breath and its causes. It is a common problem, but you don’t have to live with it. That is why we are using this blog to share what you can do if you are experiencing bad breath.

Of course, making an appointment with your Beaumont dentists is the best plan, but here some things you can do to combat bad breath.

Use good dental hygiene habits

  • This one is probably not a surprise! It will make a huge difference for you, and if it doesn’t totally fix the issue, you will know it’s time to get more help.
  • Brush your teeth and tongue twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
  • Don’t forget to clean between your teeth with floss every day.
  • We also recommend rinsing with an antibacterial mouthwash twice a day.

Stop bad habits

  • Things like smoking and chewing tobacco have a devastating effect on your dental health. We know it is easier said than done, but many people have done it, and your dentist can help you.

Visit the dentist regularly

  • Your dentist is the most powerful ally your mouth has – beyond you. He or she will be able to identify and treat issues before they get too far, which will save you pain and money!

Drink water

  • Drinking water is one of the most effective ways to keep your mouth clear of harmful bacteria and dead skin cells, both of which cause bad breath.
