How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath?
Question: I have some bad breathe problem, even I brushing the teeth on regular basis too. kindly advise on this what to do, to avoide this in henceforth?
Hello,
Thanks for writing in.
Usually bad breath is associated with-
1.Poor oral hygiene maintenance resulting in plaque and food debris accumulation.
2.Improper brushing methods.
3.patients under certain medications like,anti-epileptic,antidiabetic drugs causing gingivitis.
4.Poor immunologic factors causing gum infections.
5.Respiratory disorders.
I would suggest you to-
Visit a dentist and get a thorough check -up done.
Get professional scaling and root planning done by your dentist.
Get decayed tooth restored if any.
Always use soft-interdental toothbrush and dental floss to clean your teeth.
Brush your teeth in back-forth and up-down motion.
Replace your toothbrush in every 4-5 months.
Use colgate plax mouthwash after brushing your teeth.
Clean your mouth after every meal to prevent plaque accumulation.
Get routine dental check-up in every 6 months.
Get your blood sugar levels checked to rule out the chance of diabetes.
Hope this helps.
Please feel free to ask any other concerns.
