What causes bad breath ?
Bad breath is also known as halitosis. It’s when an unpleasant odour comes from the mouth. The usual cause is smells released from the bacteria in plaque that coats teeth, gums and the inside of the mouth. Sometimes there may be food lodged between teeth. Other causes can be due to smoking or certain foods such as garlic or onions. Bad breath may also indicate gum disease.
What you can do at home ?
Effectively cleaning teeth twice a day to remove the bacteria plaque will help eliminate bad breath and control gum disease. Teeth should be cleaned using a small headed toothbrush and fluoride toothpaste. Electric toothbrushes have been shown to be more effective in plaque removal. Since the bristles of a toothbrush are unable to reach in between teeth, and tooth decay and gum disease can be more difficult to treat in these areas, it’s important to follow toothbrushing with interdental cleaning using floss or brushes. Interdental brushes can be used where there are spaces in between teeth large enough to allow an interdental brush in. Floss should be used where teeth are without spaces and tight together. Patient’s struggling with floss may consider using an alternative device used for flossing similar to using an electric toothbrush. An alcohol free fluoride daily mouthwash may also be beneficial.
No matter how well you may be cleaning at home, a visit to the dentist is essential to combat bad breath and maintain a healthy mouth.
