Brushing your teeth twice a day and flossing can help prevent bad breath. Often you will not know you have bad breath as it is easier to notice in others.
Key takeaways:
- Book regular check-ups with your dentist to prevent oral issues and to have your teeth professionally cleaned.
- Use a tongue scraper to clean areas of the tongue you may miss when brushing your teeth.
- Eating vitamin C rich fruits helps prevent dental problems like gum disease, a cause of bad breath.
“Chew sugar-free gum to stimulate saliva flow and stop your mouth from drying out. A dry mouth can lead to bad breath.”
