How to eliminate Halitosis
If halitosis is caused by tooth or gingival problems, it is first necessary to maintain a daily dental hygiene. Halitosis can be prevented by daily brushing, mouthwash and flossing. If Halitosis does not go away even in individuals who maintain oral hygiene, they should consult a dentist. To avoid Halitosis and to prevent dental or gingival disease;
· You should brush your teeth twice a day for at least 3 minutes. After drinking an acidic drink, teeth should not be brushed for half an hour because the enamel can be damaged.
· Using toothpastes containing fluoride is more effective in preventing Halitosis.
· The toothbrush should be changed at least every 3 months.
· Mouthwash should be done once a day.
· Dental floss should be used once a day. Despite brushing, some food residues may remain between the teeth.
If you still have Halitosis despite these procedures, you should definitely consult a dentist.
