3 Easy Ways to keep Your Breath FRESH

Practice good oral hygiene:

• Brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes with a toothpaste to remove plaque and food particles that harbor odor-causing bacteria. Pay special attention to your tongue, where bacteria can also build up. Consider using a tongue scraper or brush with a built-in tongue cleaner.
• Floss daily to remove debris from between your teeth that your toothbrush can’t reach. This helps prevent bad breath and gum disease.
• Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated and keep your mouth moist. Dry mouth can contribute to bad breath.

2. Choose your food and drinks wisely:

• Limit foods and drinks that can cause bad breath, such as onions, garlic, coffee, and sugary foods and drinks. These can leave behind strong-smelling particles or create an acidic environment in your mouth, promoting the growth of odor-causing bacteria.
• Eat crunchy fruits and vegetables, such as apples, carrots, and celery. These can help remove food particles stuck between your teeth and stimulate saliva production, which helps wash away bacteria.
• Chew sugar-free gum or mints after meals or snacks to freshen your breath temporarily.

3. Use additional breath-freshening products:

• Mouthwash: An alcohol-free mouthwash with zinc can help kill bacteria and freshen breath. However, it’s important to note that mouthwash is not a substitute for good oral hygiene practices.
• Breath sprays: Breath sprays can provide a quick and temporary solution for bad breath, but they do not address the underlying cause. Choose natural breath sprays without harsh chemicals.

Remember, consistent good oral hygiene practices are the key to maintaining fresh breath. If you have chronic bad breath that doesn’t improve with these tips, consult your dentist to rule out any underlying medical conditions.
