Bad breath is very common and, in most cases, caused by improper oral hygiene that leads to the accumulation of bacteria in the mouth or to the development of dental cavities or oral inflammations. Fortunately, Loveland orthodontics offices offer advice of ways to get rid of the problem – here are some:
- Implementing a rigorous dental cleaning regimen – brush your teeth at least twice a day with a medium brush and a good quality fluoride toothpaste, use a mouthwash after brushing every other day and floss the spaces between your teeth once a day, preferably in the evening;
- Use sugar-free chewing gum or mint drops after you eat, especially if you have had strong-smelling foods, such as dishes made with garlic;
- Visit your dentist at least every six months – regular dental appointments are the best way to ensure that your teeth stay healthy and that any dental problems, such as cavities and infections, are caught when still small;
- Get professional dental cleaning once a year – thorough dental cleaning at home is essential for avoiding or stopping bad breath, but professional cleaning is much more efficient and removes any plaque and tartar that no toothbrush, dental floss, toothpaste or mouthwash can remove. Professional cleaning will also brighten your smile and make you more confident.
