Bad breath or halitosis is the unpleasant odour that comes from the breath of an individual. There are many reasons that can cause a person’s breath to smell bad. Intake of foods with strong smell like garlic and onions is a very common reason. Problems in the intestine or the stomach could also cause bad breath. Smoking and lack of dental hygiene are also some of the common reasons for bad breath.
Treating bad breath
Many times the person with bad breath does not know about it but people around them will know it. However these people will often be too embarrassed to mention it. Most of the people who have bad breath are generally made aware of this embarrassing condition by a family member.
Brushing the teeth twice a day, cleaning the tongue and flossing everyday will certainly help a person who is suffering from bad breath. Also avoiding foods with strong smell and drinking lot of water every day will help. However in certain cases, bad breath could be caused due to gum disease or tooth decay. If you are continually having the unpleasant odour in your breath, then the best thing to do would be to visit a dentist.
Dental check-up
The dentist will check your mouth teeth, tongue and gums for any signs of dental condition. The dentist will also be able to thoroughly clean your mouth. This will remove every trace of bacteria, plaque and food particles stuck between your teeth. Small particles of food get stuck between the teeth if the mouth is not rinsed immediately after eating. These particles will later give out bad smell.
Bad breath can greatly hinder you from having quality conversations, whether it is business or private. This will surely have long-term negative effects for you. Therefore the moment you realise that you are unable to get rid of this condition – seek help from one of our dentists at Liverpool Dental Spa.
