Plakoff Dental Floss Brush

Hi, there are various reasons of bad breath, like impurities in blood, inefficient digestive system, dry mouth (lack of saliva production), gum disease, cavities, plaque and tartar formation around teeth and gums, kind of diet, improper brushing / cleaning of mouth etc. I would advise you to get a thorough physical and dental examination to rule out the cause of bad breath and to solve it permanently.

The only way to prevent cavities is to brush & floss your teeth at least twice daily & also to consult a dentist once every six months. Even then cavities will happen but it can be best delayed or prolonged.

You need to keep your toothbrush too clean, which everyone does by washing the brush with plain water before and after brushing. There are certain plastic covers available now days Which act as a protective cover for the bristles avoiding them to get contaminated. Make sure you change your brush on regular intervals. Usually when you observe that your bristles have started bending, it's an indication to change it. It usually lasts for 2-3 months max. Avoiding doing this may make the bristles more sharp and result in abrasion of the teeth.

- use a soft toothbrush -- and brush properly! brush your teeth for at least two minutes twice a day and after meals. Hard brushing can further damage the soft tissues of your mouth. - floss at least once a day and be sure to floss beyond the gum line to remove more plaque. - control bleeding by applying pressure to the area with a cold compress. - rinse with salt water or hydrogen peroxide to keep the area clean. Avoid mouthwashes that contain alcohol, which can dry out your mouth. - stay away from smoking and other tobacco products, which can aggravate bleeding gums. - eat a balanced diet and limit snacking between meals. Carbohydrates and sugars feed dental plaque. - try an oral irrigation device, commonly known as a" water pick, to clear debris from around the gum line. - you may need deep cleaning along with surgical curettage or gum strengthening procedure. Use pepsodent tooth paste & gum paint for 2 to 3 weeks. Advance procedures can be done with laser. You may consult me in person.

Usually bad breath may be because of deposits which are now calcified and which cannot be removed by regular brushing. You need a professional scaling to be done and than start brushing twice and use of mouthwash after your meals. Thanks.
