Correcting Bad Breath with Fruits and Vegetables

A dentist will normally be able to treat bad breath, as a good cleaning – and getting cavities treated — will help resolve the problem. Medications can also cause bad breath, so be sure to mention any drugs you are taking. Also, there are a handful of home-based remedies which can work wonders. 

Key takeaways:

• Snacking on fruits and vegetables is a good habit as their vitamin C content can help to protect your teeth and gums.
• When you snack on these health snacks, your mouth will produce more saliva — which helps prevent dry mouth, a cause of halitosis.
• Regular cleanings at the dentist’s office will also help prevent bad breath, as well as regular oral hygiene — brushing, flossing, mouthwash.

“Snack on apples, pears, carrots, celery and cucumbers. These crunchies encourage production of saliva.”
