6 Ways to Avoid Bad Breath Even When You Wake Up

3. Don’t neglect your visits to the dentist

Persistent bad breath can be  a sign of dental problems  such as plaque, tartar, or  periodontitis . These conditions promote  the buildup of smelly bacteria  in the mouth.

 Regular dental cleanings help remove these deposits and prevent gum infections.
Remember to schedule a checkup every six months!

4. Improve your oral hygiene routine

Brushing your teeth isn’t always enough! For a truly clean mouth:

• Use dental floss  to remove food debris between your teeth.
• Clean your tongue  with a tongue scraper or your toothbrush, as it retains many bacteria.
• Rinse your mouth with an alcohol-free  antibacterial mouthwash   before going to bed.

Adopting these simple actions significantly reduces the proliferation of bacteria responsible for bad nighttime breath.
