How can we prevent bad breath?

According to statistics, bad breath can be divided into oral and non-oral halitosis ;according to its characteristics. Currently, 90% of the common bad breath in life is oral halitosis. This type of bad breath is caused by bacteria. Most of them are manifested as inadequate oral hygiene, large-scale bacterial reproduction, and then causing bad breath. This type of bad breath can be well prevented as long as daily oral hygiene is in place. However, non-oral halitosis is mostly pathological halitosis, such as caries, tartar, respiratory diseases, consumptive system diseases, etc. If it is non-oral halitosis, then it is necessary to carry out targeted treatment first, and then carry out effective prevention. Therefore, the first step to prevent bad breath is to determine the type of bad breath. If it is non-oral halitosis, you need to seek medical attention in time, and then carry out scientific prevention.

How to prevent bad breath?

1. Deeply clean teeth and gaps between teeth to inhibit bacterial growth

You should know that the bacteria in the mouth rely on food residues in the mouth to absorb energy and reproduce. In particular, food residues are easily hidden in the gaps between teeth. If daily teeth cleaning is not in place, the bacteria will have enough energy, and they will continue to reproduce and produce bad odors. If this continues for a long time, when bacteria are rampant, not only will the bad breath problem be aggravated, but oral problems such as dental plaque, gingivitis, periodontitis, and tooth decay will also come together. Therefore, if you want to prevent bad breath, the first step is to do a good job of daily cleaning of teeth and gaps between teeth to prevent bacteria from multiplying in large numbers and producing unpleasant odors. When choosing toothpaste, you can choose one that contains antibacterial ingredients. Using it every day can prevent bad breath very well.

2. Comprehensively remove bacteria in the oral cavity to solve the problem of bad breath

The oral cavity is one of the five major bacterial reservoirs in the human body, with a large number of bacteria and a high density. They mainly exist in the oral environment in two forms, one is attached to the teeth, and the other is in a floating state, existing in saliva, gingival sulcus, mucosa, tonsils and other parts! Therefore, tooth cleaning ≠ oral cleaning. According to statistics, in the human oral cavity, teeth actually only occupy 25% of the area, which means that correct and scientific brushing can only remove 25% of the bacteria in the oral cavity, and the remaining 75% are covered by the oral mucosa.

 Therefore, if you want to prevent bad breath, you can't just focus on tooth cleaning but ignore oral cleaning. We must give the entire oral cavity a comprehensive cleaning!
