Ways To Avoid Bad Breath

By Carroll Sewall


No one wants to deal with a person who has bad breath. It's unattractive and it makes us feel awkward whenever we're around someone with that condition. As a result, we'd be wise to avoid having bad breath ourselves.

If you think you're doing everything you can to deal with the situation, you're mistaken. There are many small approaches you can take that will make your mouth healthier and your breath fresher for lasting periods of time.

With the help of a few simple remedies that won't cost you much money at all, you'll be well on your way to fixing your situation. Let's take a look at a few simple measures you can take that may in fact do the job.

My first suggestion will be a really simple one. If you drink more water throughout the day, your breath will remain fresher. Water effectively kills some of the germs responsible for the foul odors that emanate from many mouths, and it's a far more effective solution than things like sodas, which actually make the problem worse.

Every time you visit your dentist, they'll probably ask you if you floss. Whether you do or not, you should make sure to do it on a regular basis if you're concerned about your breath. I would recommend flossing at least three times per week.

Think about all of the foods that accumulate between your teeth after you eat meals. A simple toothbrush can't get all of these things out. As the foods age, they'll begin to rot, smelling even worse if they're not flossed out.

Lastly, use a tongue scraper twice per day. Make this a regular part of your routine when you brush your teeth, as it requires less than a minute per day and makes a huge impact on the state of your mouth.

In doing so, you'll be fighting off the bacteria that live on your tongue and contribute to the presence of unpleasant breath.
