Causes of Bad Breath

by Robert Johnson Blogs on Latest News

When you fail to brush or floss your teeth daily, food particles from the food you eat remain trapped in your teeth' gaps resulting in bad breath. When the particles continue to accumulate, a colorless and sticky bacterial film forms on your tooth enamel. Bad breath is not only caused by poor oral hygiene. It could also be caused by gum diseases that start when plaque build-up begins to causes bacteria, which invade your gums, causing irritation. Dentists Christchurch experts offer their patients various dental solutions including oral hygiene, restorative, and cosmetics dentistry.

How will you know you have a bad breath?

You will know you have a bad breath when you cup your hands over your nose and mouth and breathe out with your mouth, then smell it. However, if the bad breath comes from your lungs, it could result from a short-term infection like sinusitis and bronchitis. If a kid develops bad breath, it could not be due to poor oral hygiene. The breath could be the onset of an illness or infection.

How do you get rid of a bad breath?

It is so embarrassing to see someone look away or cover their noses when you talk to them. Whether caused by food remnants on your mouth or gum disease, you could rid yourself of a bad breathe by:

Brushing and flossing often

If you are a smoker quit smoking

Scraping your tongue when you brush your teeth

Maintaining the health of your gums

Let go of foods with a sour breath

Keeping your mouth moist often

Rinsing out your mouth regularly

Schedule for regular dental check-ups

Cleaning your dentures if you have them

Halitosis or bad breathe will not go away if you do not know its root cause. Masking your bad breath with mints and gums will offer you relief but not cure. Get to know your specific reason, and book an appointment with a dentist to help you out. For more information, call your teeth experts today.
