BAD BREATH « DENTAL CARE
There are many reasons for bad breath.
Plaque and food particles on the teeth are the most common. Practicing good oral hygiene will usually help. And this doesn’t mean just brushing your teeth. It’s important to brush your tongue, cheeks and roof of your mouth. Decay-causing bacteria from food particles can develop on these areas, triggering bad breath. So, even though your teeth are clean, harmful germs can remain in your mouth. If good oral hygiene is not practiced, this could lead to another common cause of bad breath, gum disease. Your dentist will check for these signs during your visits. Your diet, prescription drugs and systemic diseases and illness such as respiratory problems and diabetes can also be at fault. So don’t be embarrassed, talk to your dentist who can probably help.
