I think that we all know what the obvious bad breath remedy or preventative measures are, but sadly many people are failing to understand the importance of good oral hygiene.
It might just be that they are completely unaware that they might be suffering from a bad odor problem.
Or it could just be that they are not particularly bothered by it, or its affect on other people.
Bad mouth odor could be the result of several different factors, or as the result of a combination of different things that really should be addressed.
One of the main reasons for bad breath is related to the type of food that we eat.
Onions and garlic for instance will give off a long lasting odor.
This is one of the reasons why a good dental hygiene routine is so important.
The regular cleaning and flossing of the teeth at least two times a day is very important.
This cleaning action will loosen up and remove any trapped food particles that may have collected inside the mouth, and in the gaps between the teeth.
If the teeth and mouth are not cleaned on a regular basis, there will soon be a build up of plaque, and this can lead to gum disease or even tooth decay.
Sadly, this is the case with many people today, they have neglected the cleaning process and are suffering the effects of their inaction.
The only way to ensure that you have a fresh breath is to clean your teeth every day, without fail.
If you combine that with regular trips to your dentist, he or she will be able to check for and disease or tooth decay problems.
