Bad breath is estimated to affect 1 in 4 people. The most common cause of halitosis is bad oral hygiene. Therefore, we highly recommend to our patients to brush and floss their teeth twice a day for two minutes. We also recommend maintaining regular check-ups by visiting us so that we can determine the underlying cause of the bad breath.

- Maintain good dental hygiene — brushing the teeth, gums and tongue at least twice per day and floss once per day
- Use a tongue scraper, cleaning as far back on the tongue as possible
- Increase water consumption
- Visit your dentist at least twice per year for a professional cleaning and exam
- Chew sugar-free gum or suck on sugarless candy
- Eat foods like raw carrots and celery
