Are you tired of people scurrying away from you when you open your mouth to speak? Do you find yourself constantly popping mints and chewing gum in hopes of masking that not-so-fresh breath? Well have no fear, because I'm here to help you cure that stinky dragon breath once and for all.
First and foremost, let's talk about the root cause of bad breath. In most cases, it's caused by the buildup of bad bacteria in the mouth, specifically on the tongue and in the spaces between teeth. This bacteria feeds on the food particles in your mouth and produces smelly sulfur compounds, also known as "dragon breath."
So, what can you do to combat this bacterial invasion? The first step is to establish a good oral hygiene routine. This includes brushing your teeth twice a day, flossing daily, and using an antiseptic mouthwash. But don't just go through the motions, make sure you're actually cleaning those hard-to-reach areas, like the back of your tongue and the spaces between your teeth. It's also important to replace your toothbrush every three to four months, or whenever the bristles start to fray.
Another tip for freshening your breath is to stay hydrated. Drinking water helps wash away bacteria and food particles, and it also stimulates the production of saliva, which helps neutralize odors. So, make sure to drink plenty of water throughout the day, and try to avoid sugary drinks and alcohol, as they can dehydrate you and contribute to bad breath.
You can carry around a bottle of water with a slice of lemon to help neutralize any odor as well.
Another important aspect of taking care of your mouth is regular dental checkups. Dental cleanings can help remove plaque and tartar buildup, and your dentist can also check for any underlying oral health issues that may be contributing to bad breath.
Now, I know you may be thinking, "all of this sounds like a lot of work. Is there an easier solution?" Well, yes- there are two secret weapons for fighting bad breath, and they are tongue scraping and oral probiotics. Tongue scraping is a simple yet effective practice involves using a tongue scraper (or even just a spoon) to gently remove bacteria and debris from the surface of the tongue. Do this in the morning before brushing your teeth and at night before going to bed, and you'll be amazed at the difference it makes in your breath.
The last (and possibly easiest) tip is to take an oral probiotic! Your mouth is FULL of bacteria - make sure it's the good kind. To win the war on bead breath and improve gum health follow the link below:
