Still Have Bad Breath After Brushing?

Proper Tooth Brushing Technique
1. Use the Correct Angle (45 Degrees)
Hold your toothbrush at a 45-degree angle toward the gum line.
๐ Gently move the brush
๐ Sweep downward for upper teeth
๐ Sweep upward for lower teeth
2. Clean the Chewing Surfaces
For molars (back teeth):
๐ Place the brush directly on the chewing surface
๐ Use gentle back-and-forth motions
3. Don’t Forget Your Tongue
The tongue is a major source of bacteria.
๐ Gently brush your tongue after brushing teeth
๐ Helps reduce bacteria buildup
๐ Improves breath freshness
Additional Oral Care Tips
1. Use Dental Floss Daily
Brushing alone cannot clean between teeth.
๐ Removes food particles stuck between teeth
๐ Prevents plaque buildup
๐ Reduces bad breath
2. Replace Your Toothbrush Regularly
๐ Change every 3 months
๐ Or sooner if bristles are worn out
Common Causes of Bad Breath Despite Brushing
๐ Improper brushing technique
๐ Skipping tongue cleaning
๐ Not flossing
๐ Plaque and bacteria buildup
๐ Gum disease or tooth decay
Conclusion
Brushing your teeth properly is simple-but it requires attention to detail.
๐ Brush correctly (not just frequently)
๐ Clean your tongue
๐ Use dental floss
๐ Replace your toothbrush regularly
