Did you know you can improve your bad breath today? Well, it’s true! Bad breath can be a problem in your life, and prolonging treatment can make it worse. To help you, Drs. Ingram, Ingram and Ingram with [practice_name] in [city], [state], is here to tell you how you can improve your bad breath today.

Persistent bad breath, also known as halitosis, can have many fundamental causes such as foods and drinks, cavities, and gum disease that can put a damper on your day. If a breath mint will not do the trick to relieve your bad breath, the first thing to do is call your dentist and ask for a dental checkup and cleaning. Your dentist will be able to give you a thorough cleaning of your teeth and gums to help wash bacteria away which will improve your bad breath. However, there are things you can do on your own to help resolve your bad breath as you await your dental appointment.

The key to positive oral health and fresh breath lies in remembering to brush and floss your teeth regularly. The suitable time to brush your teeth is for two minutes a day, twice a day. This will help keep the bad bacteria and food particles away from your teeth and gums, keeping your smile fresh and clean. Using mouthwash can also be effective for killing bacteria on your tongue or the insides of your cheeks. Sugarless gum is also effective because it helps your saliva wash bacteria away from your teeth.

With persistent bad breath, we understand why you might feel embarrassed to talk to others. However, our team is fully trained and prepared to help you with your oral health care needs. If you would like an appointment to improve your oral health, call [phone] today. We are always happy to help you in any way we can.

Many of us learned basic oral hygiene habits as children. Now that we are all grown up, it’s a good idea to review our techniques and make sure we are keeping our smiles healthy! Let’s review some at-home dental care basics.

Brush: Brush your teeth for two minutes, twice per day. Many people choose to brush when they wake up and just before bedtime. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush to protect your enamel and gum tissues from damage, and don’t brush too hard. Think more “massage” than “scrub.” Brushing with a stiff brush or harsh pressure can do significant damage to your enamel and gum tissues.

Floss: Floss your teeth for two to three minutes every day. Floss (or other interdental cleaners) clean the places that your toothbrush cannot reach–in between teeth and behind back molars, for example. Interdental cleaning can come before or after brushing, as long as you do both consistently.

Mouthwash: Some people choose to include mouthwash (also referred to as mouthrinse) in their daily hygiene routine. If you choose to do this, use a therapeutic mouthwash–that is, mouthwash that is designed to kill bacteria, rather than simply masking halitosis.

Getting rid of plaque from your pearly whites at least once per day is an essential part of an awesome hygiene routine. When plaque sits on teeth for too long, it can fashion tartar, which eventually leads to periodontal disease. Rinsing with a mouthwash solution, in addition to brushing your teeth and flossing, can help you keep your mouth clean and healthy. Mouthwash can diminish tooth corrosion, periodontal disease (also called periodontitis), tartar and plaque. Removing the plaque on your chompers by rinsing with mouthwash will reduce the quantity of enamel-attacking acids in your mouth that lead to cavities, and it might lower your risk for periodontal disease.

Using mouthwash is actually pretty straightforward. You can wash out your mouth by swishing the manufacturer-recommended amount of mouthwash for 30 to 60 seconds before spitting it out. Do not consume for at least 30 minutes after using the mouthwash; this will support your chompers to get the best advantage from using the mouthwash.
