How Do You Get Bad Breath?
Diet
You can also get transient bad breath from diet (e.g. garlic, onions etc.). Fortunately, most dietary causes can be masked by mouthwashes or mints.
Smoking
Smoking is another culprit. By drying your mouth, it makes the smell worse and also builds up tar and nicotine inside your mouth.
Bad Mouth Care
Incorrect cleaning of the teeth, flossing or mouth washing can leave behind bacteria which builds up.
How Do You Solve Bad Breath?
Brush & Floss Correctly
The first thing you can do for bad breath is to brush and floss correctly to remove the bacteria that are producing these gases. You can also clean your tongue using your toothbrush or a special tongue scraper.
Professional Mouth Cleaning
If these simple measures fail, then professional cleaning of your mouth is the answer and can often make a dramatic difference in your confidence.
