Millions of people around the world suffer from chronic halitosis (bad breath). This common burden mostly originates from the tongue and gums. Good news is, it’s curable and all starts with your oral health and hygiene.
Here are 4 ways to help stop bad breath.
• Brush your teeth twice a day. Use a gentle, circular motion on your teeth and gums every morning and night.
• Floss once daily.
• Schedule six-monthly checkups and cleans. It’s important to see your dentist regularly to keep your teeth and gums in the best shape possible. Bad breath can originate from excessive plaque buildup or gum disease.
• Brush or scrape your tongue as part of your brushing routine.
