How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath by Penboy: 11:34am On Jan 27, 2015 |
Most of us have that "one-person" around that brings out foul odour from his mouth; be it friends, colleagues, lecturers or even spouse. Others might actually be that "one-person" as aforementioned. If you fall in the later category, just sit back and relax because you're about to see a light at the end of the tunnel. 1).Clean your mouth thoroughly and regularly! Cleaning your mouth regularly and thoroughly includes; i. Brushing; always remember to brush atleast twice a day. And when you do, do not brush "jagra-jagra. Brushing has a regular pattern. The kind of toothpaste you use matters a lot. I saw an advert of a two-for-N20 paste some time ago. You definitely want to avoid those. ii. tongue cleaning; many people are just concerned about brushing the teeth alone. Surprisingly, bad breath actually starts from the tongue. Clean your tongue while brushing, it helps. iii. Flossing; the tooth brush cannot get to every point within the mouty; therfore, flossing is encouraged. *when last did i floss? ![]() 2). Keep your mouth moisturized. A dry mouth is a stinky mouth. That's why your breath is worse in the morning; your mouth produces less saliva as you sleep. Keeping your mouth wet includes; i. Chewing gum yeah, since Chewing gums increase saliva production in the mouth. *but am not referring to all these N5 N5 gums ooo* ![]() ii. Drinking water it may not increase saliva production but it'll wash out particles causing bad breath from your teeth and mouth. 3). Eat a banana. Did you know that banana contains an active ingredient which helps fight against bad breath? °In addition, fruits with high vitamin C content will help you fight potentially harmful bacteria, which can be a cause of bad breath. Oranges, apples are but few examples. 4). Talk to a doctor(dentist) If you've followed the above steps diligently and the bad breath persists, you may have a medical issue that needs to be treated. Reference: wikihow.com, Wikipedia.com Compiled by Dr. Precious Fact: many people with bad breath are not aware that they have the condition. Tip lick your wrist or the back of your palm with your tongue and smell it. That's probably how your breath smells Cc Sissy3 , dominique 1 Like |
