Almost all the time, bad luck and bad timing cannot be prevented. Bad breath, on the other hand, can be avoided if you are going to follow these simple ways of how to fight it. Just do these easy steps for you to get rid of bad breath.

In the following steps that you are going to do, you will be needing a toothbrush, toothpaste with fluoride, dental floss, water, and your dentist. It is optional for you to have a mouthwash, sugarless candy or gum, and breath mints. If you have already prepared these, then, you are now ready to do the six steps to fight bad breath.

Step 1   Brush your teeth at least twice a day after taking your meal. Floss at least once a day after brushing your teeth. These two will help remove odor-causing germs and bacteria. It will also aid you to thoroughly get rid of those small food debris and plaque between your teeth.

Step 2   Softly brush your tongue after you are through brushing your teeth. It will make you feel to have a fresh cool breath. Many oral bacteria spend time lingering in the tongue; brushing it makes these oral bacteria be removed.   

Step 3   If you are wearing dentures and retainers; soak them in a glass of mouthwash and clean them regularly. This will help you remove the germs and bacteria that may cause oral infections.

Step 4   If possible, avoid eating too much garlic, onions, and foods that are spicy. Moreover, prevent yourself from drinking coffee and smoking tobacco. These contain harmful chemicals that now only give you bad breath but also serious oral problems.

Step 5   Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day. This will prevent your mouth from being dry. You may also suck on sugarless candies and gums to allow the circulation of liquid in your mouth.

Step 6   Visit your dentist for regular cleaning and check up. There will also be the chance for your dentist to detect if there are any periodontal diseases that may be the cause of bad breath. You may do this twice every one year.

Considering all these six steps for you to fight bad breath requires you to make them a habit. Good oral hygiene dictates that you should take extra good care of your teeth. Having straight and white teeth does not necessarily mean that you already possess fresh breath. So, work hard for you to fight those odor-causing bacteria.
