The 6 elementary steps to fight bad breath

There are various tricks to keep your breath fresh when you can chew on gum, take a Mentos or chew on natural herbs. But it gets a little bit challenging and a whole lot awkward when your breath starts getting, well, not so fresh, into the fasting day.

Here are our tips and tricks on keeping a fresh breath as you fast:

1. Never forget to brush your teeth
Needless to say, brushing your teeth is one of the most important aspects of good oral hygiene. Some particles of the food you intake remain in your mouth and stick around in the small spaces between your teeth. These particles may decay if you don’t brush regularly. These decayed food particles are the main causes of bad breath.

Another reason why you should brush your teeth regularly is to wash away plaque. Plaque is the sticky film that gets accumulated on your teeth. The plaques contains bacteria which can damage teeth and produce foul smell from the mouth.We know you start your day by brushing your teeth. But ending your day with brushing is equally important. Brushing teeth two times a day ensures the absence of unwanted food particles in the mouth. If you ignore the health of your teeth, they will literally go away.

2. Scrape your tongue
You may like sticking out your tongue to tease your friends or siblings. But don’t stick an unclean tongue. An unclean tongue will produce an odd smell and may instead embarrass you.

Brushing your tongue is as important as brushing your teeth. Bad bacteria gets accumulated in your mouth and settles on your tongue. The bad bacteria is the white colored layer that covers your tongue and produces bad breath. Tongue scrapes are available in the market to help you deal with this problem.

3. Stop smoking
If you are a regular smoker, you would feel the need to pop a mint after smoking a cigarette. But the mint does not erase the foul smell that tobacco creates. Ingesting tobacco and smoking cigarettes are responsible for bad breath.

Exposure of tobacco smoke to the gums leads to the presence of bad breath. Smoking also turns your teeth yellow. So don’t just kick the cigarette’s rear but the whole of it and smell good.


4. Don’t let your mouth stay dry
Almost all aspects of good healthcare promote hydration. So does oral hygiene. Dry mouth is a medical condition known as xerostomia. It is the absence of saliva in the mouth. Saliva is necessary to moisten the mouth and wash away dead cells.

Saliva also neutralizes the acid formed by plaque. The absence of saliva or dry mouth allows the dead cells and bacteria to build up. This collection goes on to be the reason for bad breath. It is necessary to keep drinking water so that your mouth does not get completely dry.

5. Replace your old toothbrush with a new one
Do you like wearing clothes that have worn off or look old? No, right. So why use the old toothbrush time and again.

One of the key bad breath remedies is changing your gear for brushing teeth. If you keep using a toothbrush for a very long period of time, it will eventually wear off. Your old toothbrush would not be able to properly clean your mouth. It is advised by medical experts to change your toothbrush regularly. You should change your toothbrush every 3 months.

6. Mint and Parsley leave
Chewing on parsley and mint leaves after meals can help reduce the effects of bad breath. They may not be able to completely treat the problem but mint and parsley are superheroes when it comes to fighting bad breath. These leaves also help in the digestion process.
