Bad breath can be pretty awkward. If you’re dealing with it, we get it, you want to get rid of it.
But what do you do if it never seems to go away?
Dr. Kinga Kubieneic Dentistry in Downtown Toronto is here to help you kick bad breath to the curb and boost your confidence.
Understanding the Problem of Bad Breath
Before we jump into solutions, let’s talk about why bad breath happens. There are several potential underlying causes including:
- Not-so-great brushing
- Gum issues
- A dry mouth
- Smoking
- Certain foods or medications
Knowing what’s causing it helps us fix it better. The best way to determine the underlying cause is to seek dental assessment. During your dental exam, the dental team will evaluate your smile for one of the above signs.
Keep Your Mouth Clean
To start, make sure you’re brushing your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste. Don’t forget your tongue – bacteria love to hang out there and cause trouble.
Don't Skip Flossing
Flossing might not be the most enjoyable activity but it’s crucial. It helps get rid of food bits and gunk between your teeth that your toothbrush might miss. Keeping the crevices between your teeth clean helps prevent plaque and decay.
Drink Enough Water
A dry mouth is a party zone for bacteria (and smells). Keep it moist by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Staying hydrated also helps make more spit, which is good for fighting bad breath.
Quit Smoking
Apart from all the other reasons to quit, smoking is a big culprit for bad breath. Kicking the habit not only helps your health but also freshens up your breath.
Watch What You Eat
Some foods, like onions and garlic, can leave a not-so-pleasant smell in your mouth. Try balancing them out with breath-friendly options like mint, parsley, or apples. Brushing after and cleaning your tongue can help mitigate the effects as well.
See Your Dentist Regularly
Regular check-ups with your dentist are a must. Dr. Kinga Kubieniec Dentistry in Downtown Toronto can help keep your mouth in top shape. Visit us for professional cleanings and check-ups.
