What causes this sulfuric smell? It is anaerobic bacteria which is the culprit and which lives and thrives in an oxygen free place. These bacteria feed on food debris which is left in the mouth after eating and drinking. They break down the food particles and as the food gets digested by them, they emit sulfur which mixes with your exhaled breath and comes out from your mouth. If people around you get the smell they will avoid you, and some people may even tell you that you suffer from bad breath and even offer you a minty sweet. How can you get rid of this problem? There are six methods to free yourself from this problem.<br />
<br />
Floss daily. No matter how well or how often you brush your teeth, some food particles will still stay stuck in between your teeth, away from the reach of your toothbrush's bristles. If left in the mouth for a long time, these food particles will attract the odor-causing bacteria. Flossing is the only solution to get rid of these efficiently.<br />
<br />
Brush your teeth after meals. Ideally, you should brush your teeth after every meal, including snacks. However, this is not feasible for most people so the norm has been to brush once in the morning and once more before bedtime. If you are unable to brush during the day for some reason, make sure that you rinse your mouth well with clean water after eating, even it it's just a small cupcake or a slice of pizza.<br />
<br />
Scrape and brush your tongue. This is quite possibly one of the most overlooked dental hygiene activities. It is, however, proven that the bacteria that break down any food particles left over in your mouth also thrive around the bumps on the back of your tongue. Go ahead and take a teaspoon and turn it over so that the hollow side points to your tongue. Now go ahead and gently scrape the back of your tongue. Chances are that you will see a whitish substance. These are the bacteria that have been thriving in your mouth and that produce the sulfuric bad smell. Regular scraping and brushing of the back of your tongue will greatly cut down on the amount of bacteria that can emit such gas.<br />
<br />
Increase your water intake. Saliva flow in the mouth is not always sufficient to keep the malodorous bacteria away. Because of this, it is essential that you supplement this deficiency by increasing your water intake. Ideally, 8 glasses spread throughout the day is enough. However, you may need up to 10 glasses daily if you are taking medications that cause dry mouth. <br />
<br />
Stay away from alcohol based mouthwashes and sugary gums. It is hard to believe, but even though almost all mouthwashes will rid you, at least temporarily, of the bacteria that cause the bad odors, the alcohol based ones actually tend to dry out the inside of your mouth, thus creating the very absence of saliva that is beneficial for continuous flushing of undesirable bacteria. Look for other alternatives. Sugary gums on the other hand create an environment that is exceedingly bacteria friendly by offering them the very food substance, sugar, they cannot resist. So instead of doing something good for your mouth, you are actually doing the very opposite! Stay with the sugarless version of gums, and your teeth and breath will thank you.<br />
<br />
If you are a bad breath sufferer, you should keep your dentist's number handy. Make and keep regular appointments with the dentist, so that you can prevent any further problems which may increase the chances of getting bad breath. And your dentist is the best person who can advise you as to further treatments to get rid of bad breath which will not go away just by brushing, flossing, and scraping.</div><div class='uawresource'><div style='font-style:italic;' class='uawabout'><br />
