Most Americans make it a habit to visit their dentist at least twice a year. This is the generally accepted number of times that one should see their dentist in Lincoln, NE, a year.

In order to maintain our oral hygiene it is just as important for us to regularly floss our teeth as it is for us to brush our teeth. Floss can reach areas of the teeth and gums that toothbrushes are unable to reach, and therefore complete the teeth cleaning process.

Prevention

By choosing to brush one's teeth and floss more regularly, an individual can take the steps they need to in order to have fresher breath more frequently.

Brushing, and especially flossing, help to freshen breath due to the fact the one of the major culprits of bad breath is decaying and old food matter that is still remaining in the persons mouth.

As gross as it may sound, the truth is that most people who do not brush and floss regularly will have food particles leftover in their warm and humid mouths that will start to rot and grow bacteria which can produce a foul order to emanate from a person's mouth. By simply resolving to remove these food particles from the mouth through brushing and flossing, a person can instantly see improvement in the halitosis.

In addition to not brushing for long enough, people are also lacking in the way they brush or in the technique they use to brush their teeth. Most people tend to brush side to side and therefor fail to brush the back teeth adequately.

Healthy Gums

Maybe you are hesitant to floss because when you did in the past, it made your gums bleed. This can be caused by an excess of plaque, which is only prevented by flossing.

Being aware of dry mouth and taking steps to rectify it can help a person prevent tooth decay in the future and help to curb bad breath in the present. One effective way of inducing saliva in the mouth is by chewing sugar free gum.

By taking these steps to halt bad breath, a person will be able to enjoy greater oral health and less halitosis.
