5 tips for maintaining fresh

We all know the feeling. Starting off the day with fresh breath from a minty brush gives you the confidence to tackle your day. But that feeling starts to dissipate after our first meal, and the fresh feeling from brushing is slowly replaced with the fear of bad breath. So, how can you maintain that deep clean feeling in your mouth throughout the day? Know about the few handy tricks.

Get chewing 

Bad breath is often caused by food particles and debris that get stuck in and around your teeth. Chew sugar-free gum after meals to promote saliva production and free bits of trapped food. Look for gum that contains xylitol, an ingredient that inhibits the growth of oral bacteria.

Tame your tummy

In some cases, bad breath can also arise from excess stomach acid. A good way to fight this is to start your morning off with an alkaline-rich green juice, made with ingredients like kale and spinach, which can ease a sour stomach. Follow up with a glass of water to balance the pH of your mouth to keep your teeth strong.

Floss on the go

We all know about the importance of flossing. When food and debris aren't removed, they promote bacteria growth, causing the release of volatile sulphur compounds that lead to bad breath. Flossing doesn't only have to happen at home; store single-use flossers at your desk at work or your car for use on the go.

Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate

A dry mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria. Drinking water helps to prevent bad breath by assisting to clear out unwanted debris and bacteria. It is important to try to drink water with every meal to ensure you get at least 48 ounces a day.

Brush with deep clean toothpaste

Choose toothpaste that will give you a deep clean. Get the multiple benefits of new deep clean toothpaste. Its formula provides advanced cleaning, lasting freshness and sensitivity relief.

Conquer your day confidently by brushing, which features foam boost technology and delivers a full, mint flavour. When enamel is worn away or gums recede, the dentin underneath becomes exposed, which can lead to sensitivity and pain.
