The mouth is home to countless bacteria that absorb food debris and release sulfur-containing substances. These substances give our scent a “scent” that we want to get rid of. There are hygiene practices that can help eliminate the cause of bad breath.
Instructions
Step 1
Brush your teeth for three minutes. Use additionally floss or dental floss to clean your teeth. When brushing our teeth, we do not clean about 40% of the tooth surface. Bacteria, being in the interdental spaces, multiply and produce a fetid odor. Choose threads that slide easily and do not get stuck between your teeth. An electric flosser can be used. Dentists recommend flossing once a day.
Step 2
Clean your tongue. The bacteria settle not only on the teeth and gums, but hide on the tongue. It needs to be cleaned twice a day daily. Get a scraper or a long-handled spoon. With your mouth wide open, grasp the tip of your tongue with one hand, and in the other hand, hold the scraper. Guide the scraper from the root to the tip of the tongue. By cleansing the tongue, we not only get fresh breath, but also the health of the gastrointestinal tract, gums and throat, removing harmful bacteria.
Step 3
Moisten your mouth regularly with a few sips of water, as dry mouth can cause bad odor.
Step 4
Take care of your health. Diseases of the mouth, nasopharynx, gastrointestinal tract, lungs, hormonal disorders and kidney failure can all cause bad breath.
Step 5
Avoid dry fasting and long-term diets. With a lack of carbohydrates, bad breath sometimes appears, this is due to a change in the digestion process in the absence of necessary fats.
Step 6

In addition, some medications - hormonal contraceptives, anticonvulsants, sleeping pills - can cause a short-term unpleasant odor.
