A message from Lynne...

Is your breath as fresh as it should be?

Bad breath is an embarrassing problem.  Using mouthwash and or sucking on mints is only going to temporarily cover up the odor.  Getting to the root of the problem will be a refreshing way to a healthier and happier you.

The causes of bad breath are numerous and could include certain foods, alcohol, cigarettes, poor or infrequent tooth brushing/flossing habits, periodontal disease, diabetes, dry mouth, sinus infections and reflux issues.  Here are some tips to keeping mouth odor under control:

- Brush teeth twice a day

-  Floss daily to clean debris from between the teeth, under the gums

-  Get regular dental cleanings

-  Clean your tongue on a regular basis

-  Eat a healthy diet

-  Treat underlying health issues
