Bad breath is a common problem. But there are possible ways you can do to prevent it and maintain a fresher mouth: Practise good dental hygiene. Keeping your teeth and tongue clean can avoid unwanted food debris and plaque buildup. Brush them at least twice a day and floss them to reduce particles. You can also use a tongue scraper to lift debris and bacteria on your tongue. Use mouthwash. It’s a smart decision to rinse your mouth with mouthwash. These products can also reduce debris that a toothbrush can’t pick up and help you maintain a fresher breath. Ask your dentist for any recommendations for good quality oral products and proper usage. Have a professional cleaning. We recommend having a regular scale and clean to reduce plaque buildup and tartar between your teeth. Over time, there’s still a chance that food debris can accumulate in your mouth and brushing alone may not be enough to reduce them. A professional cleaning can be essential for preventing bad breath.
