What to do to prevent bad breath Brushing your teeth is preferred
If a person has bad breath, then he definitely doesn't like to talk to him, and others don't like to talk to him face to face. Bad breath is a nuisance to yourself and to others. Some people have bad breath due to not paying attention to oral hygiene, so how can such bad breath be prevented?
To prevent bad breath, brushing your teeth is the preferred method. The right brushing method can effectively clean the oral hygiene, which in turn will eliminate bad breath.
What is the right way to brush your teeth?
The correct method is to combine the vertical and horizontal brushing methods. The essentials of the vertical brushing method are: when brushing the labial and buccal surfaces and the lingual and palatal surfaces of the back teeth, the bristles are parallel to the long axis of the teeth, the bristles are pointed towards the gingival margin, and the bristles are at an angle of 45° to the long axis, and the toothbrush is rotated. When brushing the upper teeth, the bristles should be brushed down the gap between the teeth, and when brushing the lower teeth, brush from the bottom to the top, and brush the same part 5~6 times repeatedly.
The other is the horizontal brushing method, the horizontal brushing method is used to brush the posterior teeth and clean the pit and fissure gaps of the occlusal surface, it does not require any skills, as long as each side back and forth 8~10 times.
To prevent bad breath, there are also a few things you can try:
1. Wear a mask to sleep
If someone is prone to sleeping with their mouth open and breathing, then you may wish to wear a mask to sleep to prevent dryness of the mouth and throat, and people with sore throat can also wear a mask to sleep.
2. Put a humidifier in the bedroom
In autumn and winter, not only the skin is prone to dryness, but also the mouth is prone to dryness. You can add a humidifier to the bedroom to increase the humidity in the bedroom, even if you don't use a humidifier, you can put a glass of water or a wet towel next to the bed.
3. Improve the ability of oral saliva secretion
If you want to increase the humidity in your mouth, it is important to improve your mouth's ability to secrete saliva, and those who chew regularly will also have a stronger ability to secrete saliva, so it is also a good idea to chew a few more times when eating, or chew some gum from time to time, but be aware that chewing too much gum can damage your teeth.
4. Prevent dryness and keep the mouth moist
When saliva decreases in the mouth and dryness increases, it is the best environment for bacteria to multiply in the mouth. In daily life, when we talk or eat, the mouth will secrete a certain amount of saliva due to stimulation, but when we sleep, the mouth will be relatively dry, so bacteria multiply, resulting in bad breath when we wake up the next morning. To prevent bad breath in the morning, keeping your mouth moist is crucial.
