I've had a situation where I wanted to ask someone for directions and when he replied, the smell that gushed out from his mouth was so thick, I could literally feel it.

it's very very possible to lose opportunities and business deals because of bad breath.

some habits to help keep your mouth healthy and clean

Brush before and after meal

Doing this prevents acids in food from eating through the enamel of your teeth and causing tooth decay. Make sure to brush at least twice a day and most especially before bed and first thing in the morning.

Reduce sugary food

The acid mentioned above comes from most sugary contents we take. When sugary contents are consumed, they turn into this harmful acid and destroy our teeth and gum.

Take more vegetables

Taking carrots, cucumbers, celery and apples will help maintain a healthy teeth. Eating foods rich in calcium and vitamin D will also help grow strong and healthy teeth too.

make water your favorite drink

Water is a natural teeth cleanser because it helps wash away some of those acids left in your mouth.

replace your toothbrush regularly, choose mouthwash and toothpaste properly.

Brush is an important tool in mouth wash. It's advisable and recommended that you change your tooth brush every three months.

While going for a new toothbrush, also make sure to visit the dentist too so you'll know if the current toothpaste is still good for you.

Nice healthy teeth tips.hope to observe it accordingly. Thanks

Thanks boss.

I've witnessed somebody with terrible mouth odour too, it seems I should disappear when she opened her mouth to talk.

Bad mouth odour is a great disease....

Thanks for the the information. I will try to make water my best drink.

Yeah.. It's really very important for one to have good mouth hygiene cos mouth odours are one of the things many people can't stand and the person whose mouth is smelling would hardly know, since hardly anyone would be ready to tell him about it... So, to be on a safer side, it's really best to just keep your teeth clean as much as possible

Personally I do feel embarrassed to tell them they have bad breath

Well... then you're not the only one....
