Who knew that the speed at which you eat could affect your breath? That, and poor oral hygiene, create the perfect conditions for an instant social blunder: noxious breath. Fortunately, there are simple ways to prevent bad breath.
Watch How and What You Eat
Besides keeping your teeth and mouth clean, you might want to consider how quickly you eat. Not chewing your food and eating too fast can result in indigestion, which is one of the main causes of bad breath. Slow down at meal times to ensure proper digestion.
Another cause of bad breath is germs in your mouth. Our mouths are home to millions of germs that thrive on remnant food particles. Though it is impossible to eliminate all germs in the mouth, your best defense is to brush your teeth twice a day and floss daily, paying particular attention to food particles trapped between teeth and near the gum line. Be sure to rinse your mouth after eating, a mouthwash like Colgate Plax helps to reduce the germs count and germs build-up for up to 12 hours . Don’t forget to use a tongue cleaning device to remove the food debris and germs coating the top of your tongue.
