Millions of people struggle with bad breath, or halitosis, despite daily brushing. Here is a checklist that might eliminate the problem: twice daily brushing, daily flossing, and tongue cleaning; regular professional cleanings and careful cleaning of any dentures or removable dental appliances. If your hygiene is meticulous and the problem persists, however, we can offer several solutions.
First, we can provide a plastic tool called a tongue scraper that cleans bacterial build-up on your tongue and significantly alleviates odor. Or we can recommend a specially-prepared rinse or toothpaste designed to break the odor-causing sulfur bonds that cause bad breath. Finally, we may also suspect a systemic or internal problem such as an infection, so we may recommend a visit to your family doctor to identify the cause.
