Plaque and Bad Breath

· Castlemill Dental

When plaque is allowed to form on the teeth it is a breeding ground for bacteria and this leads to bad breath. Therefore, preventing plaque build-up is key to avoiding this embarrassing problem. Following a good dental regimen is the best way to do this.

– Brush teeth twice daily using a soft-bristled brush

– Floss around and between the teeth once a day

– Have the teeth professionally cleaned by a dentist regularly

Using a good mouthwash will also help avoid bad breath as it “ adds extra protection by getting rid of bacteria ” and keeps the mouth fresh and clean. Other tips on avoiding bad breath can be found at https://www.modernghana.com/news/895255/bad-breath-and-what-to-do.html
