Do You Have Chronic Bad Breath?

Chronic bad breath is not the sort of thing that, if we have it, we can expect people to tell us about.  It is a good friend indeed who can muster the courage to warn us of the fact that our breath is offensive.

On the other hand we also find it very difficult to ask somebody if we are giving offence.  It just isn’t the sort of thing is easy to do.

But one way or the other, if we are cursed with this malady, we eventually find out about it and are then faced with the question: what to do?

Chronic bad breath is a condition that is traditionally treated orally in the first instance.  Treatment is usually self-generated and consists of a frenzy of teeth cleaning and flossing followed by the multi-daily mouthwashes and continuous gum chewing.

If that doesn’t have the desired effect, the next step usually  is to visit the dentist to have a check on our teeth and gums so as to rule out the possibility of the odor arising from those places.

 What is not generally recognized is that halitosis can actually be caused by the food we eat simply because some foods or combinations of foods can generate offensive gases in the stomach which can then be transmitted to the bloodstream and carried to the lungs thus causing the offensive breath.

Establishing what food or foods can cause this problem in individual cases can be a very long drawn-out affair and a supplementary aid may be indicated.  Such a supplement is Clorial, which manages oral hygiene from the inside out, Progressive Health’s potent halitosis formula helps to combat your problem safely and effectively.  Click here to seehow Clorial can help you — fast!

Home remedies for bad breath are many.  Some are very good.  Some are, well… not very good.  And some are best forgotten about.

So let us just deal with the very good ones. And the best of these is the one that’s used the most.

And it is used most because it is designed to combat the most common cause of bad breath, which is simply poor [or nonexistent] oral hygiene.

Let’s say right this minute your teeth are scrupulously clean.  Within five minutes dental plaque will begin to build up on your teeth and the bacteria that live in your mouth will begin to colonize that plaque. These bacteria just love carbohydrates such as soft drinks, milk, cakes, candy and raisins and if you don’t clean your teeth and so remove these bacteria their population will explode. 

Within seven to 14 days you who see inflammation of your gums, and within 14 and 21 days there will be obvious signs of a common disease of the gums: gingivitis. 

In addition those bacteria will be destroying your tooth enamel, resulting eventually in tooth decay.

All these processes cause bad breath and when taken together, they produce chronic bad breath.

Obviously then, sound oral hygiene is the leading home remedy for bad breath.

Sound oral hygiene will result by following these steps:

•    Brush your teeth at least twice daily; preferably after each meal and before retiring
•    Use toothpaste that contains fluoride
•    Floss between your teeth at least once a day — preferably after each meal, in order to remove pieces of food
•    Speak to your dentist and obtain some of those mini-brushes that are used to clean the larger gaps between your teeth.
