Hello ,
Thanks for your query first.
Lifestyle and home remedies for bad breath include:
Brush teeth and tongue : brush at least twice a day, but preferably after each meal
Clean dentures: dentures, bridge, mouth guard - should be cleaned as recommended on a daily basis.
Floss: flossing reduces the build-up of food particles and plaque from between the teeth - brushing only cleans around 60% of the surface of the tooth.
Avoid dry mouth: drink plenty of water. Avoid alcohol and tobacco, both of which dehydrate the mouth.
Diet and lifestyle : avoid onions, garlic, spicy food, tobacco and cigarettes.
If all of above have been tried out or didn't work out then your bad breath may be due to :
TARTER: there is a deposition of biofilm on teeth and gum line. when it calcified it called tarter.
And the reason of this tarter is lack of oral hygiene / cleaning.
That's why it's is recommended to go for a dentist to know your oral hygiene status.
Dentist will perform scaling / bleaching depends on your dental condition.
Than use remedies mentioned above for healthy teeth.
IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ONE TO EXAMINE ONES TEETH ATLEAST ONCE A YEAR BY A QUALIFIED DENTIST to avoid such (or any other) dental problem.
Let me know if I can help you in any possible way.
HAVE A GREAT AND HEALTHY LIFE AHEAD :)
