Avoiding Bad Breath
Bad breath can sometimes be an indication of gum disease, but can also be caused by improper dental care. And bad breath is certainly caused by what we eat and drink. Keeping the gums, teeth and tongue in top condition is the best way to avoid odour on the breath. Basic dental health care includes:
– Brushing the teeth twice daily and flossing once
– Gently brushing the tongue or using a specifically designed scraper
– Rinsing with a good mouthwash that kills germs
If “bad breath continues despite your best efforts” it should be investigated by a dentist who will determine the underlying cause and decide on the treatment required. Other causes of bad breath are detailed at https://www.modernghana.com/news/895255/bad-breath-and-what-to-do.html
