Everyone experiences bad breath occasionally, such as after eating strong-smelling foods or in the morning. However, 25% of people suffer from chronic bad breath (halitosis), which isn’t easily fixed by brushing, flossing, drinking water, or chewing gum.
Have you noticed your breath more often lately? Wearing a mask for long periods can lead to dry mouth and bad breath. Stay hydrated, brush and floss regularly, and clean or replace your mask frequently.
And don’t forget to keep up with your routine dental cleanings!
If gum disease is the cause of your bad breath, we may recommend a deep cleaning treatment or other gum disease therapy.
