Answers: how ot get rid of bad breath besides chewing gum?
Bad breath (halitosis) can be caused from a number of things. The most common is oral hygiene. You should have regular cleanings at your dentist....and brush and floss daily. Brushing only cleans part of your teeth...the front, back and top. Flossing cleans in between your teeth. If you're not flossing, then only part of your tooth is getting cleaned. Be sure to brush your tongue also....many germs are harbored in the tongue and cause halitosis. If this doesn't help, there are products called Breath Rx that have helped alot of my patients.
Another cause of bad breath is tonsils and gastrointestinal problems. Not much you can do about that except talk to your MD.
Chewing gum and breath mints are only a mask for the odor....try to get to the bottom of the problem and fix that rather than just a coverup.
Plaque build up, gingivitis or gum disease ... just to name a few. Flossing often helps
Here's how to get rid of bad breath:
brush twice daily for @ least 2 minutes
floss @ least once a day
use a tongue brush and scrapper.....these things are amazing!
you can also use mouth wash
For me...the tongue scrapper alone made a HUGE difference and it feels awesome. You can get one from Meijer or Walmart for under $2
I had that problem and it was because of gum problems so besides getting my teeth cleaned I also started using this product and WOW am I glad I did. It has put my mouth back in good shape WITH the dentist, something worth looking into: http://www.oramd.com?kbid=2141 Just read abut this. Better than gum. It helps keep your mouth at the right ph for a long time with each use, and you can drink fluids pretty much right after using it.
ALWAYS Brush Your Teeth 3 times A day.
Also... Being able to brush your teeth properly also helps ELIMANATE bad breath. Depending on your food choices, and toothpaste... it will work in different ways. Good Luck! =D
