We bet that fresh breath is important now more than ever since you're wearing a mask and staying safe! We have 4 helpful tips to help you keep your breath fresh and pleasant all day long.
1. Eat your greens! Eating green leafy vegetables, or any water-rich fruits & veggies, is a great way to keep your breath in check because the water in those foods helps with saliva production.
2. Brush or scrape your tongue: Your tongue is a wonderful collector of gunk. So, to keep your breath smelling fresh all day, youβve got to keep it clean. Be sure to aim for the back of your tongue where most of the particles tend to linger.
3. Carry the right tools: Keep a toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss on hand for when you have a delicious garlicky meal.
4. Water is your friend: Pack a water bottle when you leave the house and actively try to drink more water during the day. Use an app or set reminders on your phone. Water is good for you and your breath!

Chronic gingivitis is a type of gum disease common in children. It usually causes gum tissue to swell, turn red, and bleed easily.
Gingivitis is both preventable and treatable with regular brushing, flossing, and professional dental care. #MouthBodyConnection

We often take our teeth for granted despite our smile being so important to our self-image and one of the first things people see. But the consequences of inadequate oral care donβt just mean you might get a cavity or have a need for teeth-whitening. It could mean problems below the surface, namely increased risks for heart disease, stroke or health complications caused by severe infections.
