Halitosis, otherwise known as bad
breath, might not be an emergency in health and dental care. It is definitely
not in compare with the kind of tooth decay/pain wrecking episodes that have
you in captive.
But to open your mouth in public and have everyone scamper and
cower sure puts you in the class of a weapon of mass destruction.So here are
nine ways to eradicate halitosis.
SAY HELLO TO THE DENTIST.
I advise the first step to eradicating mouth odor as seeing
a dentist. Why? Well, not all cases of bad breath can be solved by taking these
measures listed in this article.
On the off chance that you case is such that
needs operative procedures, like a defect in your lungs and esophagus, seeing a
dentist will make you best equipped to tackle your troubles.
To your unasked
question, yes! Mouth odor can be caused by bits of food that travel wrongly
into your lungs and decay, causing a foul odor whenever you exhale. Therefore,
seeing a doctor covers those contingencies.
BRUSH YOUR TEETH TWICE DAILY….AT LEAST.
To eradicate bad breath, brush your teeth at least twice
daily. Every morning you wake up, and before bed, brush your teeth to sanitize
your mouth and curb the bacterial activities in your mouth. If you can, brush after every meal.
This is
most necessary if you already have a case of halitosis. In doing that, scrub your tongue with either a tongue
scrapper or your tooth brush, to remove the accumulation of bacterial activities
building on your taste buds.
FLOSS AFTER EVERY MEALS.
Knowing that bad breath is like a rip in your pants that
show your dirty underwear, save yourself
the shame by flossing regularly. When you chew food, residues of your meal hang
in there between your teeth.
For this reason, you are advised to floss after
every meal. This removes the bits of your meal that if left, decays and makes
your mouth foul. Regular flossing after meal, rinse your mouth with water after
meals too.
MOUTH RINSE.
Although mouth rinse is temporal in helping, it is still
helpful as a sure way to hiding mouth odor. It might not be best for
eradication but it keeps your mouth fresh and respectable in short term basis.
For best result, use it after meals, especially as you might not be in a
position to immediately brush your teeth. Typically, if you are having a sit-in
lunch at the office.
IF YOU USE DENTURES …
Remember to remove them at night before you sleep, and clean
them out. Use disinfectants that have been screened and approved by your
dentist. Remember that they are good reasons to cause bad breath if you don’t
take care of them.
CHEWING GUM.
There are chewing gums that have been adapted to keep your
mouth fresh and flavory. Herbal, minty chewing gums that keep saliva circulating
and help you avoid a dry mouth.
These gums also limit bacterial activities in
your mouth while helping in strengthening your gums and teeth.
EAT FRUITS THAT WILL HELP YOUR DENTITION.
Apples are very advisory in keeping your mouth fresh, while
eradicating mouth odor. You can also wash orange rinds and eat them. They keep
your mouth in fine condition, with a nice fragrance, just as they also act as
anti bacterial.
Aniseeds are anti microbial too. Cloves, celery, carrot and
fennel seeds. Crunchy fruits actually help the mouth retain very fresh
disposition when u open your mouth.
DRINK A LOT OF WATER
Having a dry mouth is a sure reason for mouth odor. So drink
up. Not just water but take a lot of fluids to keep your body hydrated. When dry,
our mouth is sure to emit foul odor. So drink a lot of water and keep both
mouth and body hydrated.
TOBACCO AND TOXINS
Smoking, apart from drying out your mouth, has an unpleasant
odor it emits in your mouth. So it goes to say, quit smoking; not if you want
to keep your mouths smelling nice. Also, if your food contains garlic and
onions, or any other dish with a strong odor after eating that can come off as
offensive,
brush after eating.
Onions and garlic can be tamed by drinking a
glass of milk after the meal. Artificial toxins in our food intakes and drinks
might also contribute.
Therefore watch what you eat because we all want the
swagger of a star and breath that’s fresh like the wind……winks.
