Bad breath / Halitosis - Surrey

Selecting an antiseptic mouthwash to gargle with and using it before bedtime is particularly helpful in reducing bacteria growth during sleep. Antiseptic mouthwash ingredients include chlorhexidine (PerioGard or Peridex), chlorine dioxide (Oxyfresh or ProFresh), zinc chloride (Lavoris), and oils (Listerine, BreathRX, Tooth and Gum Tonic).

Tongue cleaners can also be useful in managing bad breath. It is important to gently clean the mucous off the back of the tongue, where bacteria may be present. Gentle tongue cleaning is extremely important to prevent damage to the tongue.
