What is the best way to combat bad breath?
There are a number of effective ways to combat bad breath. Drinking more water is one of the easiest ways to help alleviate halitosis. Contrary to what the advertisers would like us to believe, eating sugary gum, breath mints and candies doesn’t get rid of bad breath and actually serves to make bad breath worse by feeding the bacteria that cause bad breath. So it is wise to avoid them. By far the best way to control bad breath is by having a clean, healthy mouth. This means regular visits to your dentist and frequent professional cleanings. I have found that using Oxyfresh products also have been very successful. They do not contain alcohol, and are very effective in killing the bacteria that cause odor as well as deodorizing the mouth. It is also important to clean your tongue. I have found that the Oolitt tongue scraper to be helpful and more effective than a toothbrush for tongue cleaning.
