Hello doctor, I have issues with my breath even after washing my teeth.
Hello. There are a number of things that can cause bad breath. It is usually the result of poor oral hygiene. You can try these things to improve your oral hygiene. Avoid foods and beverages that cause bad breath, eat more fruits and vegetables, take sufficient amount of water, try sugar-free gum if your mouth tends to get dry, brush your teeth at least twice a day. Make sure to reach the gum line as well as tooth surfaces, floss at least once a day, rinse with mouthwash twice a day. Take care of your digestion. Be sure to see your dentist at least twice a year for regular checkups and professional cleaning. Regular checkups allow your dentist to detect any problems such as gum disease or dry mouth.
