Foods that Improve Bad Breath

Bad breath can be embarrassing, especially if someone else notices before you do. Bad breath can be easy to mask but when it becomes persistent it may be problematic. Certain foods can taint your breath for hours, which is why we’d like to educate our patients on foods that can improve the smell of bad breath. To ultimately prevent bad breath, you should schedule routine checkups with Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts twice a year.

Bad breath begins with diet and proper oral hygiene habits. After eating foods like tuna, onions, or garlic a simple solution to bad breath would be chewing gum or mints that contain xylitol. Foods that help mask bad breath include yogurt, as well as fruits and vegetables that have high water content. Additionally, it’s always beneficial to brush, floss, and use an American Dental Association approved mouth rinse.

Drink More Water!

Water is not only good for the waistline; it does wonders for oral health. Sugary beverages such as soft drinks, energy drinks, and juices may wash down your meal, but they provide no nutritional value to your teeth. Water, however, cleans the mouth with every sip by washing away acids that attack the teeth. If you’re looking for more reasons to drink water, Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts is here to give you a few.

Drinking water has more benefits for teeth than bottled water. This is because tap water contains fluoride, also known as nature’s natural cavity fighter that contains elements that replenish enamel. Sugary beverages feed off the plaque that lingers on your teeth, so be sure to practice proper oral hygiene to prevent cavities. Though you can’t build a healthy mouth of drinking water alone, you’re doing yourself a favor by drinking as much as possible, for your smile and your overall health.

Bad Dental Habits

Biting your nails and opening packages with your teeth may seem harmless, but you’ll be surprised to learn that you can chip a tooth this way. Certain habits such as these can be detrimental to your dental health. Dr. Nick Mobilia of Elite Dental Arts can treat tooth sensitivity, but prevention is always best. If your teeth are sensitive and you practice any of these bad habits, we encourage you to try your best and cut back.

• ·         You’re brushing too hard – over time, if you brush with too much force, you can wear down the protective layers of your teeth and expose the microscopic hollow tubes or canals that lead to your dental nerves. When these tubules are exposed, tooth sensitivity is a result.


• ·         You’re eating too many acidic foods – If the pathways to your nerves are exposed, acidic foods will cause you pain.


• ·         You have tooth decay – If you have tooth decay, it’s easy for bacteria to accumulate in these tiny crevices, which causes acid build-up and enamel breakdown.


• ·         You’re a tooth grinder – Grinding your teeth can wear down your enamel. This exposes the dentin and causes sensitive teeth.
