Many people usually find themselves having bad breath and they wonder how it came about. In most cases, bad breath results from accumulation of bacteria in the bucal cavity. Bad breath affects self-esteem of a person and reduces confidence. It gets even worse when trying to intimately connect with a person of the opposite sex, especially when it reaches time for kissing and cuddling. All is not lost, though.

The following ways can help you get rid of bad breath and regain your confidence again:

1. Drink a lot of water.

Drinking water is an effortless activity but many people find it hard to keep up with the habit of drinking water regularly. Drinking water regularly not only keeps your body hydrated but it also helps keep the mouth fresh. Swishing water around your mouth helps remove some food particles which otherwise would have promoted the growth of bacteria in your mouth.

2. Scrub your tongue after every meal.

Most people brush before meals and this is very wrong. Brushing of the teeth should be done after meals and not before meals. Some people also brush their teeth and forget to scrub their tongues. You might brush your teeth but still have bad breath. Why? Well, according to www.oralwellness.com, 80% of bugs that cause bad breath live on the tongue. It, therefore, shows that scrubbing the tongue is more important that brushing the teeth as far as oral hygiene is concerned.

3. Replace your tooth brush.

Tooth brush is not really expensive but it is a common phenomenon to find a person using the same tooth brush for more than six months. Brushing your teeth with a worn-out tooth brush is basically doing zero work. A tooth bush is meant to remove all the food debris found behind, in front and in-between teeth. A worn-out tooth brush cannot do this job properly. You should change your tooth brush after every two months.
