WHAT CAUSES BAD BREATH & HOW DO I FIX IT? – OPTIMAL DENTAL – DR ROMAN LOHYN – COSMETIC AND GENERAL DENTIST – MELBOURNE – VICTORIA
What causes bad breath and how can I fix it?
Bacteria are the major culprit behind bad breath. Our mouths contain millions and millions of bacteria and when they get out of control they can quite simply get up the nose. A healthy mouth means fresh breath. Bad breath can affect those nearest and dearest to us and quite often cause problems in our relationships. At Optimal Dental we will help you eliminate the symptoms as well as the cause of Bad Breath.
Plaque, Tartar, Periodontal Disease, Tooth Decay, Dentures and the tongue, are places where bacteria can thrive. So much so that breath fresheners and mouth wash will not remedy the cause. These products can only camouflage bad breath temporarily, generally for only a few hours. Steps recommended by Optimal Dental to help cure bad breath...
- Visit Optimal Dental for routine preventive care, including scale and cleans on a six monthly basis.
- Brush your tongue whilst you are cleaning your teeth. One study suggests 50% of oral bacteria can be eliminated by brushing your tongue with a soft brush each day.
- If you wear Dentures anything less than pristine clean will generally contribute to bad breath. Clean Dentures thoroughly and regularly.
If you are concerned about your own or your partner's breath, please consult with Dr Roman Lohyn at your next dental appointment. Located in Collins Street , Melbourne , Optimal Dental is committed to helping you isolate and amend this condition.
