Bad Breath Tips

mouthwash

Bad breath is caused by bacteria (producing bad smelling gas) in the mouth. It is not what you had for your lunch – although garlic doesn’t help! And for some reason having bad breath has some sort of bad taboo and not even your closest friends seem to be able to tell you that you have a case of halitosis. And unfortunately, even if you breathe into your hand and sniff it you can’t smell your own breath so you’re stuck really. There are a couple of tips to help you keep your breath fresh.
Although mints and breath fresher will mask smelly breath (and they taste nice) it won’t get rid of the problem.
You need to use a mouth wash instead. These will help to kill the bad smelling germs. There are three different kinds of theories to trying to combat bad breath.
1.    Most generic mouthwashes will kill the germs but not all of them and grow back very quickly, so you are essentially again just making your breath smell nice like eating a mint. Product examples are Listerine
2.    Products such as TheraBreath which is an oxidizer will get rid of bad breath but again cannot stop germs from producing.
3.    Products that use Zinc ion systems can prevent bad breath from coming back. Try SmartMouth.

Keeping Breath So Fresh

Research indicates that 90% of bad breath is caused by bacteria, dead cells and decaying food on the back of the tongue. Mints, gum, mouthwash, toothpaste and internal capsules do little to fight the source of bad breath. The only sure way to control odor-causing build-up on the tongue is to eliminate the bacteria with a breath-freshening gel and removing excess plaque with a quality tongue cleaner.

It’s a fact… Oral health has been connected to general well-being, fitness and health more and more in the last year. Recent studies suggest that oral health is a potential contributing factor to a rather wide variety of systemic diseases. The are strong studies supporting the link between oral health and cardiovascular disease, strokes, diabetes , respiratory disease and pre-term low birth weight infants.

You will derive a sense of improved health, a higher level of oral hygiene and fitness, freedom from anxiety related to social acceptance and all the many other benefits associated with clean, healthy sweet smelling breath.
