Short- & Long-Term Solutions to Bad Breath

Everybody hates bad breath, and unfortunately, it’s a common problem. Bad breath can be really embarrassing in both social and professional situations. If you have dragon breath, there are certain short-term and long-term measures you can take. Allow Dr. Chad Gubler and our team to offer some helpful tips for banishing bad breath.

Drink Water
If you suffer from consistent or recurring bad breath, dry mouth may be the culprit. Dry mouth means that your mouth is not producing enough saliva, which means that there is not sufficient saliva to clean your mouth of bad-smelling bacteria and food particles. Drinking lots of water is a great way to fight dry mouth, and thus bad breath.

Brush Your Teeth
Bad breath is often the result of bacteria or food particles lingering in the mouth. Brushing your teeth can give your breath a fresh, clean scent.

Use Mouthwash
Mouthwash is another quick fix for bad breath. Mouthwash can cover bad odors without actually addressing the cause of the problem.

Visit Your Dentist
For long-term bad breath relief, visit our dentist in Henderson, Nevada. Visiting Gubler Dental is especially helpful if your bad breath is consistent or recurring.
