The anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for gum disease reside under the gums and these produce what are known as volatile sulfur compounds, otherwise known as VSCs.
The VSCs that are produced by these anaerobic bacteria are the same ones that are produced by the anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing halitosis, and the odors are quite similar. It is important to understand that if a gum disease condition is advanced enough, or enough teeth are involved, a breath condition may occur.
The accumulation may not be sufficient enough to produce a condition of periodontal disease but there may be odors VSCs accumulating under the gums. When the floss is placed under the gums during normal flossing the odors can get on the floss and this may be noticeable when you smell the floss.
Having odors on the floss is not a good thing because it means the bacterial activity under the gum tissues is increasing, and of course this can lead to gum disease. Regular twice a day flossing will help with this.
Before the s, people just lived with bad breath. Bad breath went from a pesky, personal problem to an embarrassing but common social stigma. An estimated 1 in 4 people will experience bad breath regularly.
Assessing your own breath is difficult. If you are concerned that you may have bad breath, you can enlist the help of a friend, relative, or partner to let you know. Another way to investigate whether or not your breath smells is to evaluate your floss. If, after flossing, your floss smells bad, it may be the result of food particles that were not removed and that have begun to rot. A bad smell may also mean there is tooth decay or gum problems that are harboring odor-causing bacteria.
Although there are a plethora of over-the-counter products like mouthwashes and rinses, gum, or mints that boast their bad-breath destroying power, many of them only fix the problem temporarily because they are not treating the underlying problem. The best thing you can do for your mouth, bad breath or not, is to brush your teeth twice a day for two minutes each.
The reality is that most people brush for seconds at a time and sometimes only once a day. Floss once a day as well, to keep your gums healthy and to get rid of stinky food particles hiding in your mouth.
Add brushing after each meal to your regimen if bad breath persists. There are several tools available to help cut down on bad breath, like a tongue scraper that takes away the layer of bacteria on your tongue. Be sure to replace your toothbrush every three months or 48 hours after being sick to keep it from building up its own bacteria. Avoid dry mouth by staying hydrated with water and limiting your consumption of coffee, soda, and alcohol.
Chewing sugar-free gum or sucking on hard candies can help promote saliva production to help clean your mouth. If your dry mouth persists, your dentist may recommend artificial saliva to help with hydration. The longer you wait to brush and floss, the more stinky food particles stay in your mouth.
Well, plain and simply you must floss, preferably daily, but every third day at a minimum. While flossing can be a pain, maintaining clean teeth reduces bacteria, as well as bad breath and a host of other unsavory side effects.
OK, those little wishbone floss thingies that come in a pack of 50…throw them away. The type of toothpaste you use is irrelevant but how you brush is critical.
You should ONLY brush in circles if advised to do so by your dentist which they will do if you have gum recession from brushing too hard. But this time instead of using toothpaste, use Listerine mouthwash. Full Name. Email Address.
