Episode notes
Bacteria Are The Main Cause
- Most bad breath stems from bacteria living in dental plaque and on the tongue.
- Excellent oral hygiene targets those bacteria and reduces halitosis risk.
Daily Cleaning Routine
- Brush at least twice daily and clean between teeth with floss to reduce bacteria.
- Scrape your tongue as part of routine oral hygiene to remove odour-causing buildup.
See A Dentist For Persistent Issues
- Visit a dentist regularly for check-ups and get scale-and-polish appointments once or twice a year.
- Ask your dentist to check for abscesses, cavities and tartar that can cause persistent breath issues.
