Halitosis, also known as chronic bad breath, is often the result of improper care of your oral health. When you eat, food particles gather throughout your mouth, sticking to the surfaces of your tongue, in between your teeth, and on your gum tissue. Your oral bacteria break down these substances and release certain odors from the mouth. If left unmanaged, these odors eventually develop into halitosis. By learning what causes halitosis and what you can do to avoid it, you can maintain fresh breath.<\/p>\n
There are a few factors that cause halitosis, including:<\/p>\n
Improving your dental hygiene is the best way to treat your halitosis. Take a step back and evaluate your daily routines. It\u2019s important that you always brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes. Make sure that your toothpaste contains minerals such as fluoride, which helps to naturally eliminate bacteria. Another important activity is flossing, at least once a day. It\u2019s even better to floss after every meal.<\/p>\n
