How is your breath today? Fresh or funky? If it’s not smelling great, depending on where you are, your go-to solution may be popping in a stick of chewing gum. If you have ever wondered why gum helps improve your breath, it’s because of the saliva production in your mouth. NutritionFacts.org goes into greater detail in this helpful video:

Knowing this, that’s why it’s so important to stay hydrated. However, if your oral care routine and regular water drinking habits still aren’t freshening your breath, it’s time to make an appointment. It may be an infection in your teeth or gums, triggering your breath problems. Call Butte Family Dental today at 406-565-4458 or schedule online to schedule an appointment in Butte, MT.
