Battling Bad Breath: Tips & Tricks For A Fresher Scent
![](z-images/blogs/21.png)
Bad breath is a universal experience for all. Well, what is bad breath? Bad breath is an odor which is found to be unpleasant. This odor is released from the mouth during any form of breathing, most commonly being speaking. Improper oral hygiene is the main cause of this odor!
Why Does My Breath Smell?
Sulfur producing bacteria located in the mouth creates the odor known as “bad breath”. The true medical term associated with bad breath is Halitosis. This odor causing bacteria is more commonly found on the tongue and the back region of the throat. This is why brushing your tongue is extremely important. Many people skip this step in the oral hygiene routine thinking it won’t affect them as much as it does.
How Do I Banish Bad Breath?
- Brush your teeth and tongue after consuming meals
- Brush your teeth every morning and every night
- Floss between your teeth a minimum of once a day to remove plaque and food particle build up
- Avoid odor inducing foods such as
- Onion
- Garlic
- Seafood
- Dairy
- Use a fluoride-containing toothpaste for all cleanings
- Drink a proper amount of water daily to
- 1: keep bacteria flushed from your mouth
- 2: keep your mouth properly hydrated – dry mouth can cause bad breath!
Unfortunately, there is no true cure for Halitosis. Bad breath is something everyone has to deal with. Thankfully, with the right oral health and care, Halitosis can be kept at bay and go undetected. Dentists recommend having a proper oral exam and cleaning twice a year to stay on top of any underlying diseases that may increase the production of Halitosis.

Patient Testimonials
My Uncle referred me to this dentist as he’s a patient himself. I was scared going in as I haven’t visited a dentist in a very long time. Everyone was so professional and caring. They put my mind at ease. The dentist explained everything that I would need done, and it’s a lot, in a way I could understand it. I’m so glad I listened to my Uncle and chose this dental office. I will highly recommend this place if anyone asks me.
