1. Brush your teeth frequently and clean teeth with thread
Plaques that accumulate and stick to your teeth, will collect bacteria that cause bad breath. Food that is stuck and tucked between teeth also adds to the problem. Brush your teeth at least twice a day, and clean them with thread (dental floss) at least once a day. If you are worried about your bad breath, do both of the above treatments more often. However, don't do it too much. If it's excessive, it will make the teeth quickly damaged and prone to decay.
2. Wash your mouth with mouthwash
In addition to functioning to refresh the breath and eliminate bad breath, mouthwash can also provide extra protection by killing bacteria in the mouth. Fresh mint can make you feel comfortable. But make sure first, that the mouthwash you choose can kill germs that cause bad breath. Not just disguising the smell. Wash your mouth every day with a good mouthwash and remove bad breath right at the source.
You can also eliminate bad breath naturally by gargling using plain water after you have finished eating. This method can get rid of food particles that are still stuck or stuck in your teeth.
3. Clean your tongue
The layer that usually forms on your tongue can host bacteria that cause bad breath. To get rid of bad breath quickly, clean your tongue slowly with your toothbrush. If your toothbrush is too big to comfortably touch your tongue, try a scraper. The tool is specifically designed to clean the area on the surface of the tongue, capable of removing bacteria, food debris, and dead cells.
4. Avoid consuming foods that will make your mouth smell
Onion and garlic are the biggest cause of bad breath. Even brushing your teeth after you eat it will not help eliminate bad breath that results from it. Substances that cause bad breath in the garlic will get into your blood stream and leading to your lungs.
What is the best way to get rid of bad breath after eating onions? don't eat it, or at least avoid consuming it before you go to work or date.
5. Dispose of smoking habits
Besides being able to cause cancer, smoking can also damage your gums, stain teeth, and cause bad breath.
6. Avoid consuming sweets after dinner, instead chew gum
The bacteria in your mouth like sugar. sugar will cause acidity in the mouth. This will make your teeth become damaged and cause bad breath. Chew sugarless gum to get rid of bad breath. Chewing gum stimulates saliva in the mouth, which is the mouth's natural defense mechanism to fight acidic plaque, which causes tooth decay and causes bad breath.
7. Take care of your gum health
Gum disease will cause bad breath. Bacteria gather at the base of the tooth, which creates an unpleasant odor. If you suffer from gum disease, your dentist may advise you to seek treatment from a periodontist, who is an expert in the field of gum care.
8. Moisten your mouth with water
You can experience tooth decay and bad breath if your mouth does not produce enough saliva. The easiest way to get rid of bad breath is to drink lots of water during the day, if your mouth is dry. Try chewing sugarless gum or sucking sugar-free candy. Also consider using a humidifier at night to moisten the air in your home.
9. Meet and ask for help from your doctor
If your bad breath still doesn't go away, even though you have worked hard to get rid of odor in your mouth, make an appointment to see your doctor. He will check whether your problem is related to certain medical conditions that you might experience.
