How To Deal With Bad Breath

Health And Fitness : Top Health Tips

There are various causes of bad breath. Here’s how to deal with them.

Smoking can be a major factor as it will make you smell of stale smoke and also irritate your gums, possibly leading to gum disease as well. The only solution is to stop smoking.

If you eat lots of sugary (e.g. sweets) and smelly foods (such as onion and garlic) then your breath is likely to smell worse. Alcohol and coffee can also affect this. The best thing to do is limit your intake, especially if it’s a day you have to go out or meet other people. Dieting or not eating carbs will also cause bad breath.

Make sure you brush and floss at least twice a day without fail, and use a tooth brush with soft bristles. Spend 2 mins or slightly longer each time, and don’t forget to brush your tongue. Using mouthwash and visiting a dentist regularly are also good ideas.

If it still persists, then you may have gum disease or an underlying health problem, so its best to visit your dentist as soon as possible for a check up.
