Nothing can shake your confidence more than bad breath. You become unsure of yourself and hesitate to go closer to other people as you’re afraid of grossing them out. If the bad breath persists throughout the day, and if it is getting on your nerves, it’s high time you understand why it is happening and how you can deal with it.
The most common reason people suffer from bad breath is a dry mouth. This happens mostly while you’re sleeping or not drinking enough water. In such cases, the production of saliva in the body slows down. This eventually leads to the formation and deposition of dead cells on the tongue. This entire process leads to the emission of a foul smell which, in common terms, we call bad breath.
Some other factors that cause bad breath are the food we eat (especially onion and garlic), excessive smoking, fasting or crash dieting. Some medical conditions can also cause bad breath such as xerostomia, diabetes, liver diseases or throat infections. Now, the question that arises is, how do you get rid of this foul smell?
Do not worry. We have an amazing solution that will help you get rid of this problem. All with the help of a single ingredient – BAKING SODA!
It is the most natural way to freshen our breath. Baking soda helps in neutralizing the built-up acids that are stuck on the teeth and tongue, thereby preventing the foul smell.
You can use this in two ways. One, mix half a spoon of baking soda in half a glass of water and use it as mouthwash. Two, dip the toothbrush in baking soda and then brush your teeth twice a day. Both the methods are equally effective, and you can see amazing results within a couple of days.
