Role of Mouthwash & Toothpaste in Curbing Bad Breath:
The action of the mouth wash is either by killing the bacteria in the mouth or masking bad breath by the strong smell of the flavouring agent. The incidence of bad Breath can be associated with every one, only the degree differs for some persons the consequences can result in marring one’s social, personal and professional life.
The demand of Mouthwash shall remain ever green because of the type of food one eats and poor care of the oral hygiene resulting of decay of food in the mouth with foul smell as one is talking to another person.
The foul smell is observed as one gets up in the morning due to night long decay of food in the oral cavity and the anaerobic bacteria acts on protein contents in the food particles sticking on the tongue or teeth in the mouth causing bad odour due to production hydrogen sulphide gas.
One needs to use toothpaste with more strong action on curbing the growth of bacteria along with use of mouth wash. Varieties of toothpaste are available with versatile actions like:
- Curbing the growth of bacteria.
- Making the teeth strong with reinforcements of calcium and fluoride salts.
- Scrubbing the surface of the teeth with abrasives to remove the layer of food deposit on the teeth.
- Detergent present in the tooth aids in cleaning the deposits by making them on the foam created, which is spitted out.
- Masking the bad breath by strong smell of the flavour present in it.
An electric toothbrush becomes handy in applying the paste on the brush head and oscillating movements of the electric toothbrush exert more force on the surface of teeth for full two minutes ensuring all the food particles sticking on the front and back surface of the teeth are displaced and are spitted by rinsing teeth with water.
