What To Do About Halitosis

By Kingsley Jones


Often, individuals looking to fight halitosis recognize that the best remedy is to participate in great oral health and hygiene practices. Yet, many only focus on brushing their teeth instead of really understanding that it takes more than this to make a mouth odor free. Individuals looking to fight that awkward, and smelly, halitosis need to go farther than just brushing their teeth. They need to make sure to floss daily, to remove any lost plaque and food particle. Also, the tongue often gets most food trapped within it that causes odors, and , yet, it gets little love and care. It is important to remember to brush the tongue as well to get rid of these trapped food particles.

Taking a toothbrush with you always can help you be prepared for halitosis. Pull it out and run to the bathroom for a quick brush whenever you need it. This will allow you to avoid those awkward odorous moments and keep looking shiny and bright. Your appearance will look better and, more importantly, your breath will smell fresh!

Mouth wash can help keep the mouth clean and smelling great as well. Stores have a variety of these products at reasonable prices that you can purchase to use. These, usually alcohol based, products cleanse the mouth killing bacteria and germs that can smell. But you do not have to go straight to the store when looking for a mouth wash. Instead, you can develop your own at home. Using sage in a homemade mouth wash will save you money while leaving you smelling great.

Why not try food as a solution to a food caused problem? Adding just a little bit of fennel to your diet can create more appealing odor in your mouth. The same result can occur when you add anise seeds and cloves as well. Food caused halitosis may just find its solution in food as well. Get to snacking!

Another great way to remedy bad breath is through eating parsley. Yes, parsley! The garnish that is on your plate can now help fight the bad breath that plagues you as well. Parsley is known as a breath deodorizes and putting it in salads or eating alone can really help fight those halitosis-ridden moments.

Though these remedies may be simple, they can be very affective in your fight against bad breath. Most are found for cheap prices or can be made from items that cost you nothing at all. Remember, though, that quick fixes might not be enough. Rather, you may need to consult a dentist or healthcare professional to ensure that your halitosis is not more than a problem you yourself can remedy away.

I didn't know that Parsley can prevent bad breath. I thought mint would. Thanks for sharing anyway.
