If so, maybe you suffer from halitosis (breath odor issue.) But before the last friend you turned, there are several ways to combat this problem. A good start is by testing blueberry. In addition, strawberries are also able to maintain your dental health.

I often think being a dentist is certainly an unpleasant job if your patient has halitosis. A doctor can not be avoided when the patient is still in the process of dental care. Or what if two people face each other singers with a smile while one of them has halitosis? On the contrary can also be true. Several years ago I suffered from toothache. Dentists who handle me, his breath was on my face and very disturbing at all. But no one dared to advise him.

The smell of bad breath can be caused by various problems, from mild to serious. In this case, emotions play a role. For example, sexual excitement may be associated with halitosis, and prisoners who are executed often have bad breath odor.

People with untreated diabetes, breathing out a sweet smell like fruit. And smell fishy smell of fish or mice often appear in the final stages of liver patient breath.

Some conditions of the mouth and throat can trigger halitosis. Infected gums are often associated with halitosis. Infectious sinusitis (channel nostril into the head cavity) may issue an unpleasant smell from the nose to the back of the throat. Infection of the tonsils (tonsillitis) and bronchitis can trigger kerunyaman smell the same.

But normally bad breath occurs when sulfur-containing amino acids (building blocks of protein) are broken down by bacteria that thrive in an oxygen-free environment. This produces a mixture of gases that smell.

Foods such as onions and onions are well known to trigger a breath odor syndrome. Once these foods are digested and absorbed into the bloodstream, carried to the lungs and add odor on the breath to come out of the body. Billionth ounce of onion can be detected by our senses of smell.

U.S. Medical Association Journal (The Journal of the American Medical Association) stated that too frequent use of selenium can cause halitosis. Selenium sulfide is used to treat dandruff. This chemical is also found in some lipsticks.

There are some people who have little content of saliva, usually saliva helps clean the mouth. Saliva is not sufficient to accumulate dead cells on the tongue and gums, which can cause odor. Because the mouth becomes drier during sleep, the smell of the breath in the morning becoming less fresh. Smoking and certain medications can also lower the amount of saliva.

The most important step to get rid of halitosis is to improve dental health. But this does not mean just brushing teeth three times a day after meals. Your friends may still turn heads when you do not accompany it with blueberry test.
Do not forget to brush your tongue too, because most people do not do it

Tongue contain grooves where the remnants of feces collected and a lot of gas floating. Blueberry test allows you to see the food stuck between your teeth and throw it away. This not only helps prevent halitosis, but also helps to protect your gums from gingivitis (gum inflammation), which can protect the tooth.
