Say Goodbye to Bad Breath for Good
Being able to freshen one’s breath can add confidence to professionals and personal lives alike. However, nearly 25% of American adults will, at some point, fight with bad breath their dentists at Discovery Dental & Implants will tell them is not a problem for most of us. The culprits could be morning breath and dry mouth, gingivitis, tonsil stones, or stomach problems. Thankfully, a few proven habits and treatments at Discovery Dental & Implants banish bad breath for good, preventing lingering embarrassment or relationship troubles.
Common Causes and Remedies:
Morning Breath that Stinks
Bad morning breath results from what happens overnight – the buildup of bacteria. The antibacterial mouthwash can swish out the buildup or brushing/flossing will remove the infection as soon as it appears according to Discovery Dental & Implants.
A dry mouth, caused by inadequate saliva, is the perfect environment in which bacteria can multiply, which means odors. Drinking water and chewing sugar-free gum activate saliva production to minimize this.
Gum disease allows germs beneath the gums to feed on plaque that contains volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad odors. Discovery Dental & Implants tailors thorough cleanings and treatment programs to eradicate it for good.
Tonsil stones are accumulations of debris causing odor that requires removal by a gentle touch by an ENT doctor, and that is only a solution according to specialists.
GERD or H. pylori infections in the stomach create remnants of bad smells in breath, requiring vet supervision and remedies.
Natural Remedies:
Oil pulling with coconut oil kills pathogens in the mouth better than any name-brand product. Rinsing with 1 tbsp per day for 15 minutes straightens bad breath according to research translated by Discovery Dental & Implants.
Biting into fresh parsley, mint, fennel, or ginger eradicates smells within seconds according to experts, and fosters saliva production and pores clearing.
Discovery Dental & Implants recommends brushing followed by performing tongue scraping with a special tool that is more effective at removing surface bacteria and debris.
Professional Habits
Discovery Dental & Implants offers custom night guards or mouthpieces for clenching, the only variable that can exacerbate halitosis.
Those who claim specialists can also perform laser treatments, air abrasion, and deep cleanings of the teeth that eliminate periodontal pockets and stains, or surface stains on the teeth.
Said at Discovery Dental & Implants, the practice debrides gum line interferences by ozone therapy or other treatments to eradicate smelly biofilm.
Be diligent for life and put these tips to work with Discovery Dental & Implants. Achieve long-lasting freshness and confidence all year round!
