How can we prevent bad breath

How can we prevent bad breath?

Before I share the content, I would like to ask you a question: Do you really have bad breath? Have you tried some ways to get rid of the bad breath but to no avail? First, you can use some self-testing methods to check for bad breath. If you are diagnosed with bad breath and have tried many methods but the results are not significant, then please read the following content carefully. I believe it will definitely help you.
If you want to prevent bad breath, you must understand the causes of bad breath and prevent it from the root. 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.
I have been suffering from bad breath for 5 years, which is a typical oral bad breath. In the past, I faced the dual pressure of life and work every day, and I liked to drink some coffee and have some midnight snacks, because I felt that this was a more relaxing time of the day. Although I insisted on brushing my teeth every day, it still caused the problem of bad breath. After suffering from bad breath, I gradually became unconfident, dared not communicate with others, and dared not face other people's strange eyes. For this reason, I tried many ways, bought a lot of chewing gum, breath fresheners and mouthwash, but the final result was that I bought a lot of things, and my bad breath became more and more serious.
I have seen doctors, read materials, and tried it myself. I have taken detours and stepped on pitfalls. Fortunately, I finally figured out a set of methods that are more suitable for preventing bad breath at home. Now the bad breath problem has basically disappeared. Based on my own experience, I would like to share my method with you. In summary, there are three steps:
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!

So how should we clean the oral mucosa? I have consulted the information. There are very few products that can be used for oral mucosa cleaning. Generally, they are carried out in the form of mouthwash + tongue brush. But will mouthwash and tongue brush be the best oral mucosa cleaning tools? My answer is no. Tongue brushes can only be used to clean tongue coating, and their service life is not long. Tongue brushes with slightly softer bristles are difficult to clean, and the bottom of the bristles is very easy to hide dirt and dirt, so they usually need to be replaced every 2 months. Stainless steel tongue brushes are easy to clean, but they are too hard and are not recommended for long-term and frequent use. Slightly improper use will scratch the oral mucosa. There are many mouthwashes on the market that claim to have antibacterial and antimicrobial ingredients. Their principle is to directly kill all bacteria, but the mouth is not only full of harmful bacteria, but also antibacterial. Long-term use will destroy the balance of oral flora and disrupt the pH value in the mouth. The bad breath is gone, but other oral diseases will follow.
Finally, under the recommendation of the doctor, I started using Tongueclear's oral brush and oral mucosa gel. This is really a perfect oral mucosa cleaning product. During the use, I found that Tongueclear's oral brush can not only clean the tongue coating, but also clean the sublingual area, upper and lower jaws, and the inside of the cheeks. Its brush head is made of food-grade liquid silicone, which is very soft. At the same time, it uses 3D airbag design and Flexconform® adaptive technology, which can fit the mouth perfectly. It can completely achieve all the cleaning of the oral mucosa, so that one tool can clean all parts of the mouth except the teeth. With Tongueclear's oral mucosa gel, it can effectively prevent bad breath from the root. I noticed that this oral mucosa gel added glycosidase (enzymatic hydrolysis of residual sugar in the mouth to prevent sugar residue from causing breath problems) and lysozyme (dissolve harmful odor-causing bacteria in the mouth, reduce bacterial growth, and inactivate harmful bacteria). They also added 3 types of plant extracts, bisabolol, sage extract, and honeysuckle extract to address the problems of oral inflammation and gum sensitivity, so as to soothe sensitivity and maintain oral health. I have been using it twice a day for half a year and now I don’t have any bad breath problem anymore.
3. Clean oral bacteria in a timely manner

In addition to daily cleaning of teeth and oral mucosa, timely oral cleaning should also be taken seriously, because bacteria grow very fast, and it can be said that they are replicating every moment. As long as bacteria survive, bad breath may come back! Because it is used daily, it must be easy to carry and use. Common products on the market include antibacterial oral sprays, but the problem is still the same, because its principle is to inhibit bacteria, then both harmful bacteria and beneficial bacteria will be inhibited, and long-term use will cause the oral flora to lose balance. Here I also chose oral cleaning finger wipes under the recommendation of the doctor, and also chose Tongueclear produced and developed by it. This finger towel is made of 100% medical materials, with a finger buckle design, glue-free sutures, and does not contain fluorescent agents, adhesives, alcohol and other ingredients, which is very safe. The soft and high-quality material is very comfortable to use and will not damage teeth and gums. The most important thing is that each package is individually packaged. When using it, you can tear it open directly and use it. There is no need to rinse your mouth. It is very convenient. There are two flavors to choose from: mint and purified water.
Combined with the previous two steps, the bad breath bacteria will no longer have any living space, and the bad breath problem will naturally disappear.

I have to say that after the bad breath improved, I was really more confident, no longer worried about others looking at me with strange eyes, and my social circle expanded again~

If you really want to improve your bad breath, remember to strictly follow these 3 steps, and you can't get rid of it completely without one step! I used it for 2 months, and my severe bad breath was completely improved. It has been nearly 2 years now, and the bad breath problem has not swept me again. Because it is really useful in my personal test, I hope it can help everyone.
