It seems that the realization of bad breath has become a big deal in 2020. With the number of people wearing face masks due to the local and state regulations, people are starting to notice bad breath. The hard part is when you realize that you have bad breath. So the real name for bad breath is halitosis and it is a major problem that most Americans are realizing that they have. It turns out that bad breath can be the cause of a lot of dietary or dental problems, but a good dental routine can help overcome those issues and get you on the track to smelling good in your face mask.
There are a lot of different smells and some people find it hard to know if they actually have bad breath. I suggest that you ask a loved one or spouse first to see if you have bad breath. If your family is anything like mine then you have already been told. But some sense of smell is different and the causes can vary. So ask around but don't be weird about it. If you find out you do have bad breath then start working on your dental routine.
The first thing to do is to drink lots of water. Make sure you are staying hydrated and that is a great start to healthcare. The reason to do this is to keep rinsing your mouth and getting those unwanted food particles and drinks away from your teeth. Staying hydrated also allows you to produce the correct amount of saliva which also cleans your teeth. This keeps unwanted food particles away and keeps your mouth much safer. I suggest taking hydration seriously and keeping a water bottle with you. I don't like the idea of using plastic water bottles that are disposable. I think that is bad for the environment and simply wasteful. Instead, get a long term water bottle or stainless steel container to carry your water in. For myself, I find that I drink more water when I like the bottle that its in and keep it with me. If you work in an office, there are lots of classy water bottles and some that are downright fancy. It is a great conversation starter as well for businesses.
Another great thing to do that can cut down on bad breath is to start flossing. This I have always found to be kinda nasty and that is a big reason why I didn't do it for years. Luckily, technology has invented flossing brushes. These little devices allow you to reach your whole mouth without touching the string and I love it. The other end also has a toothpick so if there is some stuck food that is not able to be gotten by the floss then there is still hope. I think this is another great way to keep your mouth clean and your breath fresh.
Finally, the next thing to do is to brush your teeth more. This is something that we all try to do but also start adding in your tongue as well. If you are able to add an extra brush into your daily routine you may be able to strengthen your teeth and rock dental hygiene. If this does not work then see your dentist or healthcare provider!
