Maintaining Mint-Fresh Breath

Bad breath is a problem that is very common among lots of people because, like body odour, bad breath is not something that we can smell for ourselves. If you like garlic for instance, you might never realize just how bad it smells until someone is kind (or unkind?) enough to mention it. So what can you do to maintain minty fresh breath throughout the day? Here are some tips and tricks to get you started.

Don’t Skip the BrushNo matter how late you are to work or school, never skip your teeth brushing session in the morning. Whether you do it as soon as you wake up (to remove all the bacteria that accumulates overnight in your mouth and get rid of morning breath) or you brush after breakfast (to remove food particles from your teeth) doesn’t matter. The important thing is that you do. If you can, take a small tooth brush and tooth paste with you to work or school and brush after lunch as well. This is especially important for those with wisdom teeth extraction services in Parramatta because more food particles get stuck between the metal than usual and it looks and smells bad. Brush your teeth and maintain the same freshness you had in the morning throughout the day.

Gargle and Swill OutBad breath is a result of bacterial build up, mostly in your tongue. This can happen throughout the day for a number of reasons including not drinking enough water. If brushing your teeth during the day is not an option, buy a mouthwash liquid over the counter or go to a dental clinic in Parramatta and have one prescribed. They act like sanitizers, killing all bacteria in the mouth and getting rid of bad breath. However, it will not remove any food particles in the mouth, so make sure you swill water around your mouth a couple of times and wash it out first before using mouth wash.

Monitor Your FoodAs mentioned above, what you eat can have a big impact on your breath after. If you like foods that have a tendency to smell afterwards (onion, garlic, radish, cabbage etc.), make it a habit to keep breath mints on you so you can pop one immediately after the meal. Remember however that breath mints are only a temporary solution. You can also have a bit of cheese at the end because the acidity of the milk solids breaks down the bacteria in the mouth and prevents bad breath. So take care of your teeth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dentist and tongue, and you won’t have to worry about bad breath anymore.
