Bad breath can be reduced or prevented if you : 1. Practice good oral hygiene. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque. Brush your teeth after you eat (keep a toothbrush at work or school to brush after lunch). Dont forget to brush your tongue, too. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. Use floss or an interdental cleaner to remove food particles and plaque between your teeth once a day. 2. Stop smoking/chewing tobacco-based products. Ask your dentist for tips on kicking the habit. 3. Drink lots of water. This will keep your mouth moist. Chewing gum (preferably sugarless) or sucking on candy (preferably sugarless) also stimulates the production of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria. 4. Dentures should be removed at night and cleaned thoroughly before being placed in your mouth the next morning. 5. See your dentist regularly at least twice a year. He or she will conduct an oral examination and professional teeth cleaning and will be able detect and treat periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other problems that may be the cause of bad mouth odor 6. Certain foods that you eat may be the cause of your breath problem. Record what you eat so that you can discuss the same with your dentist and determine which foods may be contributing to the problem 7. Some general health problems (eg. Diabetes, gastritis) and /or medications may play a role in creating mouth odors. Let your dentist know regarding general health issues to decide and treat the same.
