What Is Halitosis?

What Can Be Done To Treat Halitosis?

If the cause of halitosis is diagnosed as dental problems or poor oral hygiene, treatment typically only requires an improvement in dental hygiene. Being shown how to brush the tongue, teeth, and to floss correctly can all assist in combating the issue. It is also recommended to rinse with an antibacterial mouthwash, but avoid rinses containing alcohol, as they can have a drying effect which can promote bad breath. Patients should pay close attention to the frequency, timing, and pressure they use when brushing their teeth. Brushing twice a day (in the morning and at night) is recommended, for a duration or about two minutes each time. They should also avoid brushing too hard, as this can result in other issues.
