This week we are celebrating National Fresh Breath Day and wanted to provide our readers with some information on how they can maintain a healthy and happy smile!
To avoid bad breath, brushing your teeth twice a day is vital. Paired with flossing habits, tongue cleaning, and routine dental visits as suggested by your dentist and hygienist along with home care, your oral health will be in tip-top shape. Cleaning your mouth will kill the bacteria that cause bad breath.
Some things we suggest staying away from include chewing gum as it can cause jaw pain and sucking on mints causes cavities. Sugary or acidic food and drinks are also bad options when it comes to protecting your oral health. If you do consume any of these foods or drinks, be sure to take time to brush the bacteria away and call Amundson Dental Associates for your next cleaning appointment!
