Preventing Bad Breath
	Nearly everyone has bad breath on occasion. It can crop up after you wake up in the morning or develop after you eat certain foods. Chronic bad breath, however, can be a sensitive and embarrassing issue faced by many people.
	What Causes Bad Breath?
	Bad breath generally comes from bacteria in the mouth, often on the tongue. Bad breath can also be associated with food, poor dental hygiene, tobacco use and certain medical conditions. Food. Daily brushing and flossing is imperative to removing food particles remaining in the mouth and around teeth. Those particles can collect bacteria and cause bad breath. Poor dental hygiene. If you do not clean your teeth, gums and tongue on a regular basis, plaque (a sticky, colourless deposit of bacteria that is constantly forming on the tooth surface) can build up, resulting in bad breath. Tobacco use. Smoking can cause chronic bad breath because the tar and nicotine build up on surfaces in the mouth. Also, smoking blocks saliva flow, leading to the growth of bacteria. Ask your doctor about ways to quit smoking. Medical conditions. Medical conditions such as respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, or liver or kidney ailments can cause bad breath.
	How Do You Get Rid of Bad Breath?
	To get rid of bad breath, make sure to brush twice a day and floss to remove odour-causing bacteria from the mouth, tongue and teeth. Anti-bacterial rinses, such as Crest Pro-Health Rinse, are also effective at treating breath malodour because they kill odour-causing bacteria. To keep your breath fresh between brushings try: Rinsing your mouth with water after eating if unable to brush Chewing sugarless gum to stimulate saliva flow, which naturally cleanses teeth Snacking on celery, carrots or apples, which can loosen food debris while chewing Eating a nutritious diet.
