Have you ever found yourself in an embarrassing situation due to bad breath? Don’t worry, you are not alone. Bad breath, or halitosis, is a common problem that affects many people and can have a significant impact on our social and professional lives.

At YOTUEL, we understand the importance of good oral hygiene to combat bad breath and maintain a healthy and radiant smile.

Factors that cause bad breath

Bad breath can be caused by a variety of factors. Below, we present some of the most common:

Poor oral hygiene: Poor oral hygiene allows food particles, plaque, and bacteria to build up in the mouth, which can cause bad breath. Regular brushing and flossing are essential.

Consumption of certain foods and drinks: Foods such as garlic and onion, as well as coffee and alcohol, can contribute to bad breath. These foods and drinks can leave residue in the mouth and be absorbed into the bloodstream, then released through breathing.

Tobacco use: Smoking and chewing tobacco not only leave an unpleasant odour in the mouth, but also increase the risk of gum disease, which is another source of bad breath.

Health problems: Medical conditions such as respiratory infections, chronic sinusitis, diabetes, digestive problems, and liver or kidney disease can cause bad breath. It is important to see a doctor if bad breath persists.

Dry mouth: Saliva is crucial for cleaning the mouth and removing particles that cause bad breath. Dry mouth, or xerostomia, can be caused by medications, health problems, or simply not drinking enough water.

How to combat bad breath

Fighting bad breath is possible by following these simple tips:

Maintain good oral hygiene: Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss daily. Don’t forget to brush your tongue, as bacteria can accumulate on its surface.

Use specialised products: YOTUEL products help you improve your oral health and help you have a whiter and fresher smile.

Hydrate properly: Drink enough water throughout the day to keep your mouth moist. Avoid sugary and alcoholic drinks that can contribute to dry mouth.

Take care of your diet: Limit the consumption of foods and drinks that can cause bad breath. Opt for a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and foods rich in fibre.

Avoid tobacco: Quitting smoking and chewing tobacco will not only improve your breath, but will also benefit your overall health.

Consult a professional: If bad breath persists despite good oral hygiene and dietary changes, consult a dentist or doctor to rule out any underlying health problems.
