\"dentist<\/a>Got bad breath? <\/span>Your dentist<\/span><\/a> in Beachwood is here to help! Find out if one of these top five causes of bad breath are at the root of your foul odor. Your friends, neighbors and coworkers will thank you for it!<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

#1: You\u2019ve got gum disease or gingivitis<\/span><\/h3>\n

Often, chronically bad breath is actually the sign of a larger condition, like gum disease or gingivitis. When your gums are infected, bacteria build up and affect the way your breath smells (and the way your mouth tastes, too). Visit your dentist for a checkup to find out if gum disease is at the root of your smelly problem. If it is, a deep cleaning or other periodontal treatment can help you breathe fresh once again.<\/span><\/p>\n

#2: You\u2019re not flossing<\/span><\/h3>\n

Too many adults don\u2019t floss their teeth, and then wonder why their breath smells like last night\u2019s dishwater. Flossing is only way to remove the bacteria and food particles that your toothbrush just can\u2019t reach, so don\u2019t leave off this important step. Make a habit out of flossing by placing it you\u2019re somewhere you\u2019re sure to see every night, like right beside your toothbrush. <\/span><\/p>\n

#3: You\u2019re dehydrated<\/span><\/h3>\n

\u201cMorning breath\u201d got its name for a reason. After (hopefully) eight hours of sleep and no fluid intake, the bacteria in your mouth have had the opportunity to run amok, multiply and give off that unmistakable odor. The same thing can happen throughout the day if you don\u2019t give your mouth the proper hydration with pure H2O. Saliva production encouraged by plenty of water washes away the bacteria and food particles that cause odor — so make sure you sip throughout the day for fresher breath and healthier teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n

#4: You can\u2019t kick the habit<\/span><\/h3>\n

If you\u2019re a smoker (or if you use tobacco in any form), you shouldn\u2019t be surprised that the habit affects the smell of your breath. By constricting blood flow to the mouth, reducing proper saliva flow and increasing the amount of bacteria present between teeth and on gums, tobacco greatly affects the smell of your breath\u2026 for the worse. If you\u2019re ready to quit the habit but are unsure how, or haven\u2019t had success in the past, contact a medical professional (like your dentist near Shaker Heights!) for help.<\/span><\/p>\n

#5: It\u2019s time to visit the dentist<\/span><\/h3>\n

Twice-annual dental checkups and cleanings are recommended for a reason. By removing plaque and tartar buildup, checking for spots of decay and evaluating your risk of gum disease, your dental team can greatly reduce the odor-offenders in your mouth. When was your last visit to the dentist? If it\u2019s been more than six months, do your oral health (and your breath) a favor and <\/span>schedule a dental cleaning<\/span><\/a> in Beachwood with the Center for Advanced Dentistry today! <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
