Halitosis - a Foul Smell From your Mouth

Saliva plays a very important part in keeping the odor under check. Saliva regulates the odor by washing away food particles and other unwanted junk which creates bad breath. Morning breath usually smells as the salivary glands become sluggish leading to a bad breath. This would help if you have a proper breakfast and the people who skip their breakfast please beware.

Certain foods also cause bad breath such as onions, coffee, and garlic. Too much spice also creates bad odor. Some of these smells may not leave your breath even after 72 hours of digestion. So reducing the intake of these products may help in some form and you may have a much tolerable breathe.

Some of the common and basic things or rules you can follow to have a good breathe are:

* Brush regularly
* Use dental floss or mouthwash, if that helps
* Go to your dentist at least twice in year to get a thorough check up
* Clean your mouth after eating or drinking milk products
* Chew sugar free gum to moisten your mouth
* Eating fresh and fibrous vegetables would also help
* Drink plenty of water or fluids (which excludes coffee, tea and other sugar added drinks)
*Avoid alcoholic drinks to prevent bad breath
