Four Ways To Get Rid Of Bad Breath(Halitosis)
What’s more embarrassing than everyone drawing their faces away from you once you open your mouth to speak?
Bad breath/halitosis is surely a canker no one would ever like to be infested with.
Of course, it’s natural for the mouth to smell once it’s been shut for a long time.
However, when yours is the opposite the you need to check yourself twice.
It is however, a problem that most people do not know they have this kind of problem.
So just observe the way your friend behave around you. Are they free getting close to you or not? If no, then you definitely need to get rid of that bad breath. You can feel free and ask the trusted ones about your general body odor as well.
Check these steps below:
1. Floss Everyday
Flossing your teeth is just as important to good oral health as brushing and even more important for reducing bad breath. Make it as much of a mindless habit as brushing your teeth. At first, your gums might bleed as you dislodge chunks of food that have “stuck” to your teeth and gum for who knows how long. But take a second to smell the floss after you pass it through your teeth, if you dare. You’ll see (or smell) where the bad breath is coming from
2. Brush your teeth regularly
Two major sources of mouth odor are bacteria and decaying food particles. There are hundreds of nooks and crannies in the fertile landscape of your mouth where these offending bits of “rot” can get lodged. It is therefore essential to brush your teeth at least twice daily.
3. Pay attention to your tongue
Brushing your teeth without paying attention to your tongue is actually not acceptable. Bad breath can come from ones tongue. Hence pay attention to your tongues whenever you’re brushing your teeth. Scrap your tongue thoroughly and you’ll begin to see changes.
4. Avoid high odor foods
Foods like garlic and ginger can contribute to bad breath. As much as possible avoid these foods. If not then try to brush your teeth immediately after eating these foods. You can also get chewing gums or toffees with mint for the mouth whenever you have these foods.
Remember, good breath draws people to you just like a beautiful smile.
