What are the ways to prevent bad breath?

As people's eating habits continue to change in modern society, many friends have developed the habit of eating midnight snacks. Although this can greatly satisfy their appetite, it seriously stimulates the stomach and intestines and even leads to constipation. As a result, the problem of bad breath becomes very obvious, which has an adverse effect on their daily communication. So what are the methods to prevent bad breath? In the next period of time, please friends, please join me in reading the following content.

Different types of bad breath may also indicate different diseases. Australian dental and halitosis expert Jeffrey Spether said that many patients with systemic diseases have certain special smells in their exhaled breath. For example, the breath of diabetic patients smells like rotten apples, the breath of patients with renal failure smells fishy, ​​the mouths of patients with cirrhosis smell like sulfur, and heart disease can easily lead to bad breath with a mild rotten smell.

Saliva is a good "weapon" to fight bad breath

Interestingly, the vast majority of people with bad breath are unaware of their odor. This is because the soft palate at the back of the mouth is connected to the nasal cavity, and the nose cannot smell the odor produced in the back of the mouth. Therefore, there is no need to wait for others to lose their patience and complain to you. The easiest way to judge is to blow into the palm of your hand or smell the residue on the dental floss. You can also use a cotton swab, toothpick or small spoon to scrape the tongue or between the teeth and you will know the answer just by smelling it. So, how can you take good care of your oral health so that bad breath no longer bothers you?

Eat millet often. American nutritionist and author of "The Food Bible" Gillian McKeith suggests that millet, a healthy grain food, can reduce the growth of oral bacteria and be more effective in preventing bad breath.

Drink lemon water. Drinking plenty of water can keep your mouth moist. Adding a slice of lemon to water can stimulate saliva secretion and reduce bad breath caused by anaerobic bacteria produced by nasal congestion, dry mouth or residual food in the mouth.

Drink green tea in big gulps. British dentist Philip Sterner said: "Some people chew gum when they have bad breath, but this will increase the sulfide content." Drinking green tea in big gulps can better deal with these oral bacteria, and the catechols in green tea can also neutralize the bad breath in the mouth. Chewing the tea leaves may be more effective. Soak the tea leaves in boiling water, take out and chew for 1 minute then spit it out. Repeat 3 times.

The above paragraphs have introduced some ways and methods to prevent bad breath. I sincerely hope that friends who have hidden dangers in this regard can read the above content carefully, so that they can better prevent and treat bad breath in daily life. Of course, I would also like to solemnly state that bad breath is a disease, which requires us to treat it well and must not be ignored.
