Brushing and Flossing to Combat Bad Breath
Apr 3rd, 2009 by Dr. Kourosh Maddahi DDS
To avoid bad breath be sure you are brushing properly. This includes brushing the tongue, cheeks, and the roof of the mouth, as well as the teeth, to remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing also is important. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque, and food that may be trapped in hard to reach places between teeth. For temporary relief from bad breath try a mouth wash or rinse.
