JJ331 asked:
what works better, listerine or peroxide (i think that’s what it’s called)? i’ve bought a tongue scraper as well and i’ve recently started flossing
what mouthwash is the best to get rid of bad breath? also is there anything else i should do?
Generally brushing your teeth with toothpaste and mouthwash should do it. If that doesn’t work, you may have to see a dentist, because you have an infection somewhere in your mouth.
You can read the following Yahoo ! Answer :
Read point #8 .
Bad breath can be caused by a myriad of things from poor oral hygiene, diet, or a combination of other factors. It’s important to remember to address all factors.
When you floss please brush via The Modified Bass Method. Google it, and there will be diagrams that will show how it’s done. This method is the most effective and is most commonly recommended to patients.
Flossing also is important because it removes plaque in between your teeth, and an excess accumulation of plague can cause gum recession and bone loss. Again you can google flossing techniques and diagrams will give you a better idea of how to floss ideally.
What most people ought to know is even if you are perfect in brushing and flossing, you will only clean 70% of the plaque away in your mouth. 30% will be left untouched, and only a dentist with their scalers and ultrasonic cleaner will get the last 30% out. This is why as a dentist I want to see you twice a year. Prevention is important in the modern dentistry’s paradigm of conservative dentistry.
Finally, adjuncts such as mouth wash can be used but they’re only effective if flossing and brushing is up to par.
i have tried OraMD, it worked great in banishing my bad breath issues that i have long been dying to cure and that is because it is organic, it eliminated the bad bacteria inside my oral cavity with its essential oil ingredients that are extracts from natures. and because it is natural, it is very safe and effective to use for someone who wants to have fresher breath and adhere to natural approach in treating bad breath rather using those who have harsh chemical ingredients that can simply fuel up the bad breath problems….if it doesn’t work well for you, you can be assured that you money will be sent back to you..as it comes with money back guarantee..
Rinsing your mouth with lime juice mixed with water prevents bad breath. It’s a simple home remedy that works. (Mouthwash is generally not very effective over the long term.)
