How To Treat Halitosis - Cures For Bad Breath

• Poor dental hygiene and periodontal disease can be a source of bad breath. To treat halitosis, brush your teeth and tongue twice a day to remove food debris and plaque. Once everyday, floss between teeth preferably after meals. If you wear removable dentures, clean them thoroughly every night before replacing them the next morning.



• Have regular check-ups with your dentist at least once every six months for cleanings to keep your mouth free of plaque buildup and other oral or gum problems that may lead to bad breath.



• Saliva helps cleanse and reduces bacteria in our mouth. As such a dry mouth (xerostomia) caused by decrease in saliva production can result in bad breath. Drinking plenty of water or chewing sugarless gum can help stimulate saliva production to help cleanse and remove bacteria that may cause mouth odor.



• Watch your diets. If possible, avoid consumption of foods that include alcohol, coffee, garlic and onions and sugars which can cause bad breath.



• Smoking tobacco products can cause bad breath, tooth discoloration and other gum and mouth related problems. Quit smoking if possible to eliminate tar and nicotine build up on the surface of the teeth, tongue and cheeks.

The truth is there are many mouthwashes available in stores that are generally cosmetic and do not have a long-lasting effectiveness in treating bad breath.

Most of such mouthwashes only mask mouth odor with their flavor temporarily or they contain alcohol which tend to dry the mouth which make the mouth a more favorable environment for bacteria growth.

Nevertheless, there are still some special alcohol free antimicrobial mouth rinses that are recommended by dentists for people who must use a mouthwash to hide unpleasant mouth odor.

Two of such mouthwashes have helped many halitosis sufferers get rid of bad breath are TheraBreath PLUS Oral Rinse (Extra Strength) by Dr. Katz and SmartMouth Alcohol-Free Mouthwash developed by Dr. Marvin Cohen.

Both of these mouth-rinses can help treat halitosis effectively by reducing the number of undesirable bacteria and plaque build-up. They also diminish dry mouth and neutralize bad breath much longer than ordinary mouthwashes can.

TheraBreath PLUS Oral Rinse (Extra Strength) by Dr. Katz contains peppermint and tea tree oil to help freshen the breath. In addition to its refreshing nature, their antibacterial properties will kill the bacteria found in the mouth.

SmartMouth Alcohol-Free Mouthwash with its clinically proven zinc ion technology helps eliminate and prevent bad breath for up to 12 hours.
