Must Read: 6 Ways to Cure Bad Breath

NEWMARKET, Ontario - Oct. 30, 2019 - PRLog -- Have you ever wondered why your breath sometimes smells? You're not alone. Between the things we eat, improper oral care, or even just waking up from a long rest, bad breath happens to everyone. The source of many people's bad breath, called halitosis, is anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria hate oxygen and like burrow deep into the surfaces of your mouth, feeding on the food particles that are left behind. They create a sulphur waste product, which is what causes the unpleasant smell.   However, you shouldn't worry about having some of these bacteria in your mouth. They occur naturally and are needed for digestion. The issue is when there are too many of them. Newmarket Dentist knows that bad breath can be an embarrassing problem, but by following a few simple tips, it'll be a lot easier to keep your mouth feeling clean and fresh.

1. Never Skip Brushing and Flossing
Eliminating your bad breath starts with the most basic advice that any dentist will give: brush your teeth twice a day. It's also important that you floss daily. Brushing your teeth helps to remove bad bacteria, plaque, and any food particles left on the surface of your teeth. Flossing helps to dislodge anything in between.   Skipping flossing doesn't only lead to bad breath. It also puts you at risk for gum disease. When plaque isn't removed from your teeth, it hardens. This hardened plaque, called tartar, is full of bad bacteria. Along with creating a bad smell, a build-up of these bacteria causes inflammation and bleeding gums. If this progresses, gum disease develops. This is why brushing and flossing are important. Without doing both, bad breath could be the first in a long list of oral care issues you face.
