Some anaerobic
bacterial varieties like the H pylori and the S mutans are the main criminals
of halitosis inside our mouth. The most evident indicator of bacterial presence
inside the mouth is evidently the whitish slug layer that is so often deposited
on the tongue. The slug, made up of dead cells of the mouth and the food
remaining, supply the necessary food to the bacteria. The parasitic habitat
gets even more encouraged if the mouth remains dry for a long time.
Proper cleaning and
washing the mouth cavity, at least twice a day is very important in the fight
against bacteria. Proper cleaning procedure not only means brushing the teeth
regularly, but it also necessarily includes scrubbing the tongue surface and
flossing the spaces between the teeth. Water will help by cleaning the food
leftovers from obscure places of the mouth cavity. Gargling with slightly warm
water after meals and drinking a few glasses of unsweetened water-lemon juice
solution can also help by killing the bacteria. Other sugar free beverages like
the green tea and the lemon tea can also likewise help in fighting the
repulsive smell. Sweetened beverages like alcohol increase the stink of bad
breath.
Chewing on natural
mouth fresheners like clover, cardamom and mint can have long lasting effects
against bad breath.
