You Can Fight Bad Breath With Good Oral Hygiene

July 18, 2016

Welcome to the New Albany Implant blog!

We hope that your summer is going well so far and that you have plenty of reasons to smile!

In our Southern Indiana dental office, we offer a full range of preventive dentistry services that are designed to help you hold on to your original set of teeth all through life.

If you are already living without a full set of teeth, we can help you get back on track fast with one of our dental implant procedures (that is our specialty, after all).

Beyond that, we will be here to help you with any other problems along the way. Trust us, there are plenty of things that can go wrong in a mouth!

One common problem in our line of work is bad breath. Occasional bad breath is embarrassing, as we all know. But folks who suffer from a chronic condition known as halitosis have it even worse. This is nothing to be ashamed of, as it can happen to anyone. But we want you to know that there is plenty that you can do to better your situation.

Here are our suggestions for getting a handle on bad breath…

Skip The Mints

We know that when you get a horrible taste in your mouth, it’s easy to grab a mint, cover it up, and go on about your business. The bad thing is that most mints are full of sugar.

After the mint has dissolved in your mouth, all that lingers is a sugary residue that actually feeds the bacteria causing your breath problems. It can be a vicious cycle. If you have to, try chewing on some sugar-free gum instead of mints. Just skip the mints if at all possible!

Make Flossing A Daily Activity

Overcoming chronic bad breath is actually a matter of destroying bacteria. Brushing is a great start. But flossing is an even better weapon in this ongoing war. You should attempt to floss twice a day or more to drive bacteria out from the hard-to-get regions in-between your teeth.

Pay Attention To Your Tongue

If you are plagued by chronic bad breath, take some time to scrape and brush your tongue twice a day. Do it when you brush and floss! It will really make a difference.

Drink Lots Of Water

We have found that keeping yourself hydrated is perhaps the best thing you can do to ward off bad breath. This is because saliva naturally eliminates bacteria in your mouth that is causing the bad breath. But in order for saliva to be produced, you need to drink enough water. If you can find water with fluoride that is even better!

Visit New Albany Implants Often!

We hope that you have been inspired to keep your mouth clean and fresh. Our preventive dentistry program will help you stay on the good road all through life. Don’t let bad breath ruin your social life, contact New Albany Implants for your next appointment instead!

I’m the type of person that is scared of the dentist have been my whole life. I scheduled consultation with Dr Ron and he answered all my questions and more. He and his staff are great they made me feel comfortable the whole time. They used sedation for my implant procedure and it was the best decision I have ever made!! I had zero pain whatsoever. The best thing is that they have gave me the ability to smile again and to be happy. Thank you to everyone at New Albany Implants. I recommend them to anyone needing dental implants.

Amazing experience. If anyone is anxious about seeing a dentist I can assure you don’t have to be with Dr. Receveur. My only regret is not having it done sooner. His staff is pretty awesome too.

Everyone that I have come in contact with at Dr. Receveur's office has been very kind, professional and very knowledgeable. From Jean, Denise, reception and Dr. Receveur himself. They also keep in great communication, which helps out a lot and is highly appreciated. I highly recommend and look forward to my next visit. Thanks!

I recently had implants put in by Dr. Receveur. I was scheduled to have sedation that morning, but wasn't able to due to my sugar issues from diabetes. He assured me he would keep me comfortable so I agreed to go ahead with the procedure. He did just that, he kept me comfortable as promised and I didn't feel a thing. During the procedure he also talked to me the whole time explaining what he was doing, which also helped ease my anxiety. The entire staff there are so nice and informative, they can answer any questions you may have. All I can say is to anyone that is hesitant to have this procedure done, I honestly wish I would have had this done a long time ago! Dr. Receveur and his staff are AMAZING, and I would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat!
