Bad breath / Halitosis - Surrey
Your Surrey dentist will be able to advise you on various solutions to bad breath. The following is a list of solutions recommended by dentists in the Surrey area.
Eat a Proper Diet. Diet plays a role in dental hygiene, as appropriate food and drink can support proper saliva flow to help limit the possibility of halitosis. Fibrous foods have been known to help maintain a healthy mouth. Eating a healthy breakfast every morning helps initiate saliva flow after evenings of sleep when bacteria and odor can build. Drinking sufficient water is also important to help limit bad breath. Drinks that are high in sugar and acid such as sodas and juices do not a support a healthy breath environment.
Exercise Good Dental Hygiene. Key to deterring halitosis is dental hygiene. It is very easy for food debris to be lodged between teeth or around gums, creating an ideal bad breath bacterial environment. As instructed by your dentist, brushing your teeth and flossing between each tooth after every meal are the minimum requirements. Brushing and flossing are particularly important after high protein meals or other meals that trigger foul breath and dehydration.
