How do I get rid of bad breath?

Do you find yourself covering your mouth or keeping your distance from others? Everyone experiences bad breath (halitosis) from time to time; it is a common problem! The cause could be beyond your oral hygiene habits.
Some products, like mouth rinses, gum, and mints, are advertised to eliminate bad breath. As helpful as they are, those types of solutions generally only temporarily cover up the problem and don’t address the cause.

The most popular and immediate method is to brush and floss thoroughly after meals to prevent mouth odour. Regularly seeing a dentist twice a year is proven to help eliminate many of the more serious causes of bad breath.

What causes bad breath?

Generally, the trigger behind bad breath is due to bacteria in the mouth. As bacteria in your mouth break down those food particles, it releases that lovely bad breath come morning time.

Other possible reasons behind bad breath:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Sinus infections
  • Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths)
  • Food stuck in a filling or graft
  • Chronic dry mouth
  • Gingivitis or gum disease
  • Smoking, Cannabis and chewing tobacco users
  • High blood sugar and poorly managed or undiagnosed diabetes
  • An abscessed tooth, gum disease, tooth decay and other oral infections
  • Reflux or GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)
  • Ketosis, often seen among people who are crash dieting or fasting
  • Medications or a recent course of systemic antibiotics
