Fresh Breath

Picture
The causes of bad breath is quite broad as there is often multiple reasons such as: dietary habits, medications, medical problems (e.g sinus, bronchitis), dry mouth (xerostomia) and habits such as smoking.

We will also help you with any any oral hygiene concerns that may cause bad breath.

We will be checking for bacterial plaque, tartar, decay, gum disease, draining abscesses, tongue hygiene or loose dental work (e.g fillings, veneers, crowns, implants or dentures) as possible causes to bad breath.


Some tips for fresh breath:
  • Drink lots of water to avert bad breath. Lack of fluids can lead to dry mouth  and cause bad breath.
  • Reduce upset stomachs to ease bad breath. Sour or acidic stomachs can release foul smelling gas through burping.
  • Check your sinuses; infections cause bad breath. Bad breath is often a clue to an underlying sinus infection.
  • Chew sugar free gum after meals to banish bad breath. Chewing gum makes you salivate if your mouth is dry and causing bad breath. Saliva is what washes away the bacteria in your mouth. 
  • See your dentist. At least every six months, see your dentist for teeth cleaning and an oral exam. Your dentist can check your mouth and teeth for open cavities and gum disease that cause bad breath.If self-care tips don’t work to stop your bad breath, see your doctor.
