In most cases, however, a foul odor from the oral cavity is caused by something far more simple and, fortunately, preventable. Keep the following in mind next time you find yourself affected by a bout of <strong>bad breath:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Don&#8217;t \tskimp on the flossing.<\/strong> Patients who neglect to floss regularly \ttend to suffer from <strong>bad breath <\/strong>more often. This is because \ttiny particles of food lodged between the teeth attract and harbor \tbacteria that cause odors. Twice a day is all it takes!<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Stay \thydrated. <\/strong>When you don&#8217;t drink \tenough water, your mouth can become dry, making odors more \tnoticeable when you speak or exhale. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Reach \tfor an antibacterial mouthwash. <\/strong>Killing \tthe germs, the source of <strong>bad breath<\/strong>, \tis an easy way to ensure a fresh mouth. <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-family: Arial, sans-serif;\"><strong>Keep \tup with routine cleanings at Southridge Dental. <\/strong>Every \tsix months, your mouth needs an overall cleaning that rids it of \taccumulated plaque and other debris.
