Questions About Bad Breath?

Monday, July 14, 2008

Got Bad Breath?

It has been known for quite sometime that poor oral hygiene allows bacteria to set up residence in your mouth and wreck all sorts of havoc. Halitosis, a.k.a. bad breath is a primary example of the effects of these bacteria. Now the researchers at the University of Buffalo School of Dental Medicine have identified several previously unknown bacteria that could be attacked in the battle for bad breath!
The battle to fight these bacteria is ongoing. You can better attack these germs by brushing your tongue or using a tongue scraper. Mouthwashes such as Listerine are effective in minimizing the effects of these bacteria. At your next visit with our hygienist Katherine or Kim, please ask them for a tongue scraper. If you are due to have your teeth cleaned, please call Faith to schedule an appointment at 561-394-9000!
