This Saying Needs To Be Ingrained In Your Heads…”An ounce of prevention is worth….”

A pound of cure. Basically meaning that it is much easier to prevent something as opposed to being dealt with something that has happened and taking the means to fix it.

Sometimes, that damage becomes permanent and it can only be treated and not permanently fixed. Bummer. It’s applicable to many things in life, but to our context, we’re talking about bad breath.

Chronic bad breath doesn’t happen overnight. You typically don’t see kids, teens, or younger adults with smelly breath. The primary demographic is towards older adults or seniors. The damage from poor dental care compounds over time.

Here’s a checklist of things you need to have marked off to ensure that you don’t have bad breath:

Hydration:

Hydration is key both in sports, nutrition, overall wellness and health, and even your breath! What proper hydration allows for us is to ensure that our salivary glands are put to work when ingesting food so that smelly debris that gets stuck between your teeth and gums don’t accumulate bacteria over a long period of time.

Avoiding sugary and acidic foods!

We know that its impossible to cut these completely off, but limiting these types of food will prevent tooth erosion and prevent sugary deposits being left behind in your teeth, lowering the risk of damage such as tooth decay.

Don’t smoke or use tobacco products

If you’re into nicotine products, with the Trump Administration’s ban in flavored cigarettes, we believe that this will revert consumers to regular tobacco based nicotine products – Cigarettes and E-Cigarettes with the plain tobacco flavor.

We hope that you’re irrelevant from this section.

Smoking will stain the gums and teeth, cause dry mouth, expose you to numerous hydrocarbons and an exponential increased risk of lung cancer.

We’re sorry if flavored cigarettes help you out in terms of getting your nicotine buzz. Check out the website more on general health and wellness tips that will turn your life around.

Hygiene

Make sure your hygiene is on point regarding your oral health. You need to be brushing and flossing your teeth twice a day, along with using an anti-bacterial mouthwash to rinse off. (The mouthwash is especially helpful for bleeding gums and inflammation)

Simply marking these things off the checklist will help you maintain an odor free, clean mouth. You’ll notice that none of these suggestions include extremely gimmicky things or “one trick will cure all solutions”. All of these solutions presented above address the root causes of bad breath, not just some “bandaid” that will only temporarily fix the problem.

Ultimately, you want to prevent chronic bad breath before it is too late. If it is too late? Start by marking off the items in the checklist!
