Ways to Treat Bad Breath
By Lance Baker | October 31, 2009
I’m restating the obvious here, but nobody wants to have bad breath. Unfortunately, it’s something we can’t avoid. I’ve read stats that say that nearly half of all people suffer from it to some degree, and some obviously have it worse than others.
A lot of it has to do with your genetic makeup, meaning that it’s out of your control. However, the good news is that there are definitely some things you can do to curb the impact of this nuisance.
First of all, I’d definitely recommend buying and using a tongue scraper. This cheap and effective device simply scrapes the bad breath bacteria off of your tongue, and treats bad breath at its root.
People often misunderstand the root of bad breath. It doesn’t come from the foods you eat or your teeth, but rather from your tongue. Certain germs build up there and end up smelling really bad.
Back to the mention of foods, you can’t let foods build up inside your teeth. If you’re eating things like red meats, you definitely need to make sure that you floss your teeth. Leaving food to rot inside your teeth will obviously smell really bad after a few days.
You need to eliminate food from those hard to reach places. Floss as often as you can, especially after eating meats. You’ll definitely notice a difference, especially if you smell those meats after you get them out of your teeth (as gross as it sounds, it’s just proof of the fact that you need to floss).
You should always stay hydrated too, as dehydration will amplify the symptoms of bad breath. Keeping water in your body will keep your mouth as fresh as possible.
It also promotes moisture in your mouth, which in turn keeps the bacteria on your tongue from thriving and developing further.
