How To Get Rid Of Bad Breath

  • December 23, 2019
  • bluespa_staging_admin

Bad breath is a common thing that can be experienced by anyone in the morning. Everyone wakes up with bad breath because bacteria had multiplied in the mouth at night due to lack of continuous saliva flow to wash it away. However, things often change when the teeth are flossed and brushed.

In a situation where bad breath persists throughout the day, it is important to take relevant measures necessary to eradicating bad breath. These active measures go beyond flossing and brushing the teeth. To get rid of bad breath and experience fresh breath, here are some things to do.

Eat Fresh Foods

When trying to get rid of bad breath, it is good to watch what goes into the mouth. Naturally, the teeth become clean when crisp, fresh foods are consumed especially fruits and vegetables like lettuce, raw cucumber, apples, pears and carrots. These foods do not only clean the mouth but boost dental health because they add antioxidants.

Brush and Floss Teeth Regularly

There should be no slacking in brushing and flossing the teeth. After every meal, it is recommended to brush and floss the teeth. If necessary, go to work with a travel toothbrush and toothpaste to brush the teeth after lunch. Since bad breath can be an indicator of a serious problem like tooth decay, gum disease, unclean dentures, or an abscess, it is also important to get dental check-ups at least twice a year.

Keep Tongue Clean

As much as the teeth are cleaned, the tongue must also be kept clean. One common place where bacteria love to lodge is on the top of the tongue, especially behind the mouth. This is where a lot of remains are left after each meal. If the mouth is not properly cleaned after eating, bacteria will begin to work on the residue thereby causing odor. However, this can be taken care of by swirling water around the mouth after taking a light meal such as snacks. It is also advisable to use a tongue scrapper along with brushing every time.

Take Herbs for Bad Breath

This is another way of getting rid of bad breath so naturally. The use of herbs helps to clean the palates and get rid of mouth of odors. Chewing herbs such as raw parsley and cooking others like cardamom along with meals will help to fight and stop the occurrence of bad breath. Also, sipping herbal tea such as peppermint tea, as well as black and green tea can be very effective in combating bad breath.

Chew Sugarless Gum

Bacteria are washed away when gum is chewed. However, it is important to avoid chewing gum with sugar because sugar tends to boost the activities of bacteria. So, it is recommended to chew sugarless gum to reduce the bacteria fermentation.

I've been a patient here for more than 5 years and have been very happy with the care and service provided. Dr. Cartas and her team are always very accommodating, I'd recommend their Collins St clinic to anyone looking for a dentist in the CBD.

I have been a patient at this dentist for over 10 years and I even though I have moved away from Southbank where it was convenient I still do not mind the travel to see my usual Dentist. Very professional, quick and painless. I totally recommend getting your teeth cleaned, checked and explained to you with Blue Spa Dental. The girls here are very professional and friendly.

BEWARE! Only go here if you want terrible work done that won’t last!Got 2 front vaneers replaced and things started going wrong straight from the second appointment. My teeth were prepared for crowns instead of vaneers without concent. Wrong type of crowns then ordered. When right ones were eventually made the shape was wrong and they were too tight. I told dr cartas this but she said they’d settle in. They didn’t. Just 2 short years in, they cracked from pressure and fell out. They should last 10-15 years! One star is generous. I advised APRAH who agreed it was all done wrong, audited dr cartas and made her do courses. Save yourself the trouble. DO NOT USE THESE PEOPLE.

Tried these guys out after my old dentist retired and had a great experience (well as great as visiting the dentist can be). The staff are very friendly and it's clear that all their patients love the place. I go to Collins St but I know they have two other locations which is handy.
