Bad Breath Causes and Remedies
Summary
Bad breath is often caused by food particles, tongue buildup, gum problems, and dry mouth. Dentists recommend rinsing after meals, drinking enough water, cleaning the tongue, and brushing with fluoride toothpaste for about two minutes twice a day.
Key Points
- Food stuck in the teeth, tongue buildup, gum problems, and dry mouth are the main causes of bad breath.
- Rinsing after meals, staying hydrated, and cleaning the tongue can help reduce mouth odor.
- Dentists recommend brushing for about two minutes in the morning and at night with fluoride toothpaste, along with flossing.
- Persistent bad breath should be checked by a dentist, and lemon or salt should not be rubbed on the teeth.
