So do you have bad breath, and you're just dying to know how you can get rid of it? Well, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutions. And I'm going to explain to you on how you can get rid of your bad breath. The first thing that you want to do is you definitely want to go consult with your general dentist in your area. Therefore, maybe he can do an exam. A lot of times what causes bad breath is that you have a lot of bacteria in your mouth that is basically hiding on your tongue or in between your teeth. Or you might have even decay, a tooth that is starting to decay away. So definitely go see your general dentist. So therefore, he can do an exam, make sure that none of these are an issue, as far as that you have decay in your mouth. Also too, you might want to try getting a tongue scraper. You can purchase those anywhere, any pharmacy, over the counter. And basically what it does is it basically scrapes your tongue. After you brush your teeth, normally like you would, you just want to use the tongue scraper on your tongue. And you're just basically scraping all of the excess bacteria that is hidden in between your taste buds. And you really want to get really far back, too, because that's where the most bacteria hides is the further back it can go on your tongue. So consult with your general dentist. Therefore, he can kind of do an exam, make sure it's not a decaying issue. But definitely try to get a tongue scraper. Brush your tongue on a regular basis, at least two times a day.
