Bad breath is more common than you might think, and the tongue is often the culprit.
Bacteria and food debris build up on the surface of the tongue, especially towards the back. A quick daily routine helps:
* Gently brush or scrape your tongue from back to front
* Clean between your teeth every day
* Drink plenty of water, as a dry mouth can make breath worse
If bad breath sticks around despite a good routine, it can be a sign of gum disease or another problem worth checking. Come and see us and we will help you get to the bottom of it.
