Follow these five friendly air tips from your <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.familydentalpractice.net\/our-doctors.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">dentist in 06002<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">! You (and your friends, family, coworkers and neighbors) will be so glad you did.<\/span>\n\n<!--more-->\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#1: Brush better<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">It shouldn\u2019t come as a surprise that you\u2019ll probably suffer from bad breath if you\u2019re not cleaning your teeth and tongue as well as you should. Make sure you brush for two minutes, twice a day &#8212; and don\u2019t forget about your tongue! Bacteria collects on this part of your mouth just like it does on your teeth, so give it a gentle but thorough cleaning for fresher breath. <\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#2: Floss daily<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Flossing is just as important for fresh breath as thorough brushing. If you don\u2019t believe us, take a whiff of the floss the next time you\u2019ve skipped a few days &#8212; that\u2019s bacteria that\u2019s allowed to harbor in your mouth unless it\u2019s removed. Make a habit of flossing by leaving it somewhere you\u2019re sure to see it each night, like right beside your toothbrush. <\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#3: Keep a (food) journal<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">If you have good oral hygiene habits but you\u2019re still suffering from bad breath, it could be the result of something you\u2019re eating. Write down everything you eat and take notice if the foul odor seems to repeatedly occur after something you might not expect &#8212; like oily, fatty foods.<\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#4: Drink more water<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When you\u2019re habitually dehydrated, your mouth can\u2019t produce enough saliva to properly cleanse itself. That means bacteria stays on the tongue and teeth, turning into plaque and causing that familiar unpleasant odor, too. Keep a water bottle with you during the day and sip when you\u2019re feeling parched &#8212; especially in the mid-morning and throughout the afternoon. <\/span>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">#5: Get a gum disease evaluation<\/span><\/h3>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">One of the most common causes of chronic bad breath is gum disease &#8212; the condition that affects some 75 percent of Americans. If you\u2019ve tried everything but still suffer from a foul mouth odor, you may unknowingly be dealing with gum disease. Don\u2019t wait to seek treatment. Left unattended, the condition can have serious effects on overall health. In fact, it\u2019s been linked to heart disease, stroke and high blood pressure, among other conditions. <\/span>\n\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400\">With periodontal treatment in Bloomfield CT, the team at Family Dental of Bloomfield can help you enjoy healthy gums and fresher breath once again!
