How To Prevent Morning Breath
Morning breath, the dreaded odor that greets others as you greet the day. The embarrassing oral odor is caused by a buildup of bacteria in the mouth. Those bacteria produce Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs) when they feed on the food remnants left in the mouth after eating. When you sleep less saliva is generated, so there is less saliva to flush away the bacteria. This allows an overgrowth of aerobic bacteria (which require oxygen for growth), exposing the anaerobic bacteria (which do not require oxygen for growth) that produce bad breath.
Prevent Morning Breath
Your morning breath doesn’t have to leave those you encounter holding their breath. With a proper oral care regimen, you can eliminate the cause of morning breath before you go to sleep. You’ll wake up ready to start the day, with breath that doesn’t have those close to you diving for cover. Just follow these steps before your head hits the pillow:
-
Rinse and gargle: Using ProFresh Chlorine Dioxide Oral Rinse, vigorously rinse your mouth for 30 seconds. Spit out and rinse.
-
Clean your tongue: Using a tongue scraper, drag it forward 4-6 times to loosen and remove biofilm.
