Bad Breath: Get Rid Of It!

Foreign. Hi, everyone. I'm Dr. Sandha. And do you have bad breath or do you know anyone with bad breath? I want to talk to you about some causes of bad breath and what you can do to help with that. So one of the biggest causes of bad breath is not necessarily bad oral hygiene, but it could be not brushing your tongue. Do you know that your tongue actually holds about more than half of the bacteria that's inside the mouth? And most of you actually do not brush your tongue, and that's one of the problems. If you have gagging issues, you can use a tongue scraper, and I actually have one right here because sometimes brushing doesn't even do such a good job. And the way you want to use this is actually bend it and just start from the base of your tongue and move it forward, and it'll actually take away that white coat that you have on your tongue. So go ahead and check out your tongue. If you have a white layer on your tongue, you need to clean it, and your breath is going to feel so much better. But, you know, there's actually different reasons why you may have a bad breath. And other reasons would be things like stomach infections, which actually comes out through your breath. And if that's the case, you want to go see your physician and treat that. Another reason may be a dental infection. If your tongue is clean and you still have a bad breath, you may have an abscess in your mouth that may not cause you any pain, and it's something that you do want to treat.
