"Do you have reeking, stinking bad breath? Well, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I'm going to explain to you, on how you can treat your bad breath. The first and foremost is, you definitely want to make sure you're brushing your teeth, at least two to three times a day.You also want to make sure, a lot of people and patients, they forget to brush their tongue. A lot of bacteria will sit on your tongue, which then if it's sitting there for several days, it's definitely not going to smell all that great, so when you're brushing your teeth, remember to brush your tongue, and you just really want to brush your tongue, on a back and forth motion, and really focus on getting that bacteria off, and then also too, any time after you brush your teeth, you want to floss with a great floss, like a Glide Floss. It will also help with getting in there easily, and removing any debris. If you let debris and bacteria sit on your teeth and on your tongue. Over a period of time, you will start to get bad breath, so brush your teeth, floss your teeth. Also too, after you're done brushing and flossing, you want to rinse with either some type of mouth rinse antiseptic, that will kill the bacteria, from your mouth, and then in return, it will give you a fresher, whiter, brighter smile, and better breath, and once again, my name is Michelle, and I'm a dental assistant with Solutionz, and I just explained to you on how you can get better breath."
