‘An apple a day keeps the doctor away. But an onion a day keeps everyone away.’ Well, not only an onion. Any reason that causes bad breath. It is not entirely possible to detect the odor of your breath on your own. But it is possible to avoid the embarrassment it may cause. If you are suspicious about your breath, have a look at the following bad breath treatment measures.
How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath – Bad Breath Treatment
In the following post, we shall be studying how to avoid bad breath along with home remedies for bad breath. Read on to find out:
– If you wear dentures, remove them at night and clean to get rid of bacterial buildup from food and drink.
– Drink plenty of water and swish cool water around in your mouth. This is especially helpful to freshen “morning breath.”
– Brush after every meal and floss, preferably twice a day.
– Replace your toothbrush every two to three months.
– Arrange regular dental checkups and cleanings.
– Scrape your tongue each morning with a tongue scraper or spoon to decrease the bacteria, fungi, and dead cells that can cause odor. Hold the tip of the tongue with gauze to pull it forward in order to clean the back of the tongue.
– Chew a handful of cloves, fennel seeds, or aniseeds. Their antiseptic qualities help fight halitosis-causing bacteria.
– Chew a piece of lemon or orange rind for a mouth- freshening burst of flavor. (Wash the rind thoroughly first.) The citric acid will stimulate the salivary glands—and fight bad breath.
– Chew a fresh sprig of parsley, basil, mint, or cilantro. The chlorophyll in these green plants neutralizes odors.
– Try a 30-second mouthwash rinse that is alcohol-free (unike many off-the-shelf products). Mix a cup of water with a teaspoon of baking soda (which changes the pH level and fights odor in the mouth) and a few drops of antimicrobial peppermint essential oil. Don’t swallow it! (Yields several rinses.)
