No one enjoys bad breath, especially the person who suffers from it. It can have a significant impact on your confidence, making you feel more self-conscious and deterring you from socialising with others. If you’re struggling with persistent bad breath, there are a number of things you can try in order to get relief. This blog post contains more details about these potential solutions.

The SaliPen Intraoral Device

The SaliPen is a cutting-edge medical device that treats dry mouth naturally by using electrical pulses to stimulate saliva production. There are no side effects, and the pulses are below the human sensitivity level which means you won’t have to worry about feeling any pain or discomfort. This device has proven to be a highly effective treatment for bad breath caused by dry mouth.

Other Dry Mouth Treatments

Bad breath is often caused by having a dry mouth and reduced saliva flow. In these situations, chewing on sugar-free gum in addition to drinking water and using mouthwash can make a big difference by stimulating saliva and keeping your mouth moist to reduce bad breath.

Probiotics

Recent studies have shown that the use of probiotics can help to contain the effect of bad breath. Taking probiotics colonises the gut and mouth with beneficial bacteria, helping to maintain stomach gases, reduce inflammation and improve bad breath.

Visiting a Bad Breath Dentist

A bad breath dentist will have extensive knowledge and experience dealing with oral health matters. They’ll be well-equipped to determine the underlying causes of your bad breath and recommend treatment options. Your bad breath could be a sign of a serious dental issue that needs to be addressed in order for the problem to go away.
