You Don’t Have To Suffer From Bad Breath

A garlicky Italian lunch can leave you with some pretty stinky breath, but after brushing and using mouthwash, the odor will typically disappear. However, for many people, suffering from bad breath is something they cannot make go away. If your bad breath has become a chronic issue, it is time to call your dentist for help.

An issue is classified as chronic when it is continual or occurs again and again over a long period. If your breath smells terrible most of the time or it returns quickly after brushing, it can be classified as a chronic issue. No amount of breath fresheners or mouthwash or peppermints will be able to mask the smell for long.

Chronic bad breath is called “halitosis,” and it is a medical condition that can affect your personal life and even negatively impact your professional life. It is also important to understand that halitosis can be a symptom of a more severe condition. It should not be ignored!

Persistent bad breath is caused by oral. There are millions of bacteria inside your mouth at all times. These bacteria are meant to benefit you by helping to break down particles trapped in the teeth after eating and drinking. However, if bacteria build up in vast quantities, they will create plaque and tartar and lead to bad breath with a sulfur odor.

The good news is that you don’t have to suffer from bad breath! You have the tools to beat this foul-smelling condition right at your fingertips. Dental floss, a toothbrush, and toothpaste are your greatest tools for overcoming bad breath. By flossing every day, brushing your teeth at least twice a day (or after every meal), and rinsing your mouth throughout the day, you can help get rid of bacteria before they cause havoc.

If you are still suffering from bad breath after implementing a proper oral health routine, you need to have a conversation with your dentist. Through an examination and thorough cleaning, your dentist will be able to detect any signs of concern that are causing your bad breath.
