What to Do About Bad Breath

What to Do About Bad BreathBad breath can be quite embarrassing, particularly in social situations. Most cases of bad breath are extremely treatable, however. Our Beverly Hills dentist explains.

Diet can account for most cases of temporary bad breath. Garlic, onion and curry are some of the worst offenders. When your bad breath is caused by your diet, you may be able to sweeten your breath sooner with sugar-free gum and adequate hydration that flushes the offending chemicals out of your bloodstream faster.

Chronic bad breath may be a sign of more serious problems. You may be suffering from gum disease, infected teeth or other dental health issues. Brushing and flossing are essential to keeping your breath fresh and your mouth healthy. Plaque, the sticky film that constantly grows on teeth, contains oral bacteria that produce acids and bad smells. Brushing your teeth removes plaque and cuts down on bacteria. Once the bacteria infect your gums, or you develop gum disease, they may reproduce quite rapidly and cause a persistent foul odor.

Maintaining good dental hygiene is one of the best ways to avoid this kind of bad breath. Brush twice daily, and floss every day. A mouth rinse can help you remove even more odor-causing bacteria. Along with good dental hygiene, seeing our dentist at least every six months for a professional cleaning and dental exam can help you avoid bad breath.

If you are battling chronic bad breath or you cannot determine the source of your bad breath, contact our office today to schedule an appointment with our Beverly Hills dental periodontal treatments specialist.
