Bad breath can affect anyone and often impacts confidence in conversations and daily life. The primary cause is bacteria buildup in the mouth, especially in hard-to-reach areas like between teeth and on the tongue.
Neglecting proper oral care can make bad breath a chronic problem. Saying goodbye to this issue starts with proper brushing.
Why Proper Brushing Matters for Fresh Breath
Brushing is fundamental to oral hygiene, but many still don’t do it correctly. This leads to plaque and bacteria accumulating in areas missed by brushing, such as between teeth, along the gum line, and on the tongue. This buildup not only causes bad breath but also contributes to gingivitis and cavities.
Proper brushing removes plaque and reduces bacteria, freshening breath and lowering the risk of gum disease and cavities.
The Right Way to Brush for Fresh Breath
Effective brushing involves a soft-bristled toothbrush and toothpaste that reduces plaque. Brush at least twice daily for about two minutes, ensuring coverage of all teeth.
Hold the brush at a 45-degree angle to the gum line and brush in gentle circular motions. Brush inner, outer, and chewing surfaces, including the tongue, a major harbor for bad-breath bacteria. Regular flossing and mouthwash use further enhance oral hygiene and maintain fresh breath.
Choosing the right toothpaste is also essential. Berry Dent is designed for comprehensive oral care. With 1500 ppm fluoride to reduce plaque and prevent cavities, natural fruit enzymes (Raspberry, Blueberry, Blackberry) to minimize bacterial buildup, and Thai herbal extracts (mangosteen peel, guava leaf) to reduce gum inflammation and freshen breath, Berry Dent effectively addresses bad breath concerns.
