Are you in need of finding a way to cure your bad breath blues? If so, we have exciting news for you! Halitosis, also known as persistent bad breath, is a condition that can be treated and conquered, especially if you visit your dentist for help. However, there are some things you can do on your own to help combat this condition.
Our dentist, Dr. David Kim, is trained to help you with your halitosis. Additionally, our team at Dr. Kim Family Dentistry in Hanford, California, is excited to share with you treatment ideas for your condition.
Here is a list of treatment ideas for halitosis:
– Dental check-ups: If you visit your dentist frequently, your dentist can review your oral health and help you fight any difficulties associated with it.
– Brushing and flossing habits: Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing thoroughly will decrease the plaque buildup and wash away bacteria causing halitosis.
– Tongue brush: Your tongue is thick and bumpy making it easy for bacteria to hide, which is why a tongue-scraper may be a great way to clear away new bacteria.
– Mouthwash: Mouthwash is known to destroy bacteria and neutralize acids that could cause halitosis.
– Sugarless gum: Sugar-free gum encourages saliva production that helps keep your breath fresh and clean.
– Abandon tobacco: Tobacco causes halitosis and is extremely unhealthy, making it smart to quit tobacco use of any kind.
