Brush at least twice a day, focusing on the tongue, gums, and roof of the mouth.

Floss daily to remove trapped food particles that bacteria feed on.

2. Clean Your Tongue

Use a tongue scraper or the back of your toothbrush to remove bacteria from the tongue’s surface.

3. Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist. Dry mouth allows odor-causing bacteria to thrive.

4. Use Antibacterial Mouthwash

Look for mouthwashes containing chlorhexidine, cetylpyridinium chloride, or essential oils to reduce bacterial growth.

5. Eat Mouth-Friendly Foods

Crunchy fruits and vegetables like apples, carrots, and celery help clean teeth naturally.

Yogurt with live cultures can support beneficial bacteria in the mouth.

6. Regular Dental Checkups
