Even the closest family members, partners or friends find it difficult to tell the affected person about it.<\/p>\n<p>Your dentist may point it out during a routine examination, especially if the underlying reason is bad oral hygiene or a more advanced gum disease.<\/p>\n<p>In this case, the bad breath is treatable and disappears when the plaque and the deep pockets around the teeth are cleaned properly.<\/p>\n<p>If the bad breath is not originated in the mouth, you should consult your doctor to investigate further.<\/p>\n<h2>Tips for better breath:<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Brush your teeth twice or three times a day. Concentrate on the gum-tooth margin where the plaque usually starts to build up.<\/li>\n<li>Floss regularly or use interdental brushes on a daily basis. Leave some toothpaste in your mouth and floss. This will make you feel fresher and get the toothpaste between the teeth.<\/li>\n<li>Brush the tongue.<\/li>\n<li>Visit the dentist regularly especially if you have a history of gum disease in the family.<\/li>\n<li>Use a mouthwash, but remember mouthwashes will not treat the underlying cause of bad breath.<\/li>\n<li>Chewing sugar-free gum. This works especially if you experience bad breath linked to a dry mouth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Bad breath is also known as Halitosis.
