Do you wish you could have a fresh and pristine breath at all times? If so, our dentist, Dr. Shane S. Porter, has some tips that can help you achieve that goal! Those tips are:

No. 1: Clean the tongue. Bacteria gather on the tongue’s surface and radiate an odorous breath. If you clean the bacteria from the tongue regularly, it can help you have a fresh breath. All you need to do is brush your tongue after you have brushed your teeth or use a tongue scraper.

No. 2: Drink water. Water can also wash away the bacteria on the tongue. It can also wash away any particles that are stuck between the teeth causing an odor. So, keep a bottle of water with you and sip on it throughout the day.

No. 3: Don’t smoke. Smoking can cause severely bad breath. It can also harm your entire body and increase your chances of having dangerous health issues. So, it’s best to just quit smoking altogether.
