You Have To Catch The Bad Breath In The Mask And The Germs In Your Mouth.

 You have to catch the bad breath in the mask and the germs in your mouth.

 

When I wear a mask with Corona 19 these days, I get choked by the summer heat. As the spread of Corona 19 does not stop, more and more people complain of inconvenience due to the situation where it is impossible to take off the mask. In particular, as it becomes a daily routine to wear a mask indoors, there are many cases of feeling bad breath that was not normally noticed. No matter how hot and smelly your mouth is, you can't take it off. If so, management is paramount. Now, let's look at the causes of bad breath that can be felt by wearing a mask and how to relieve it.

 

Bad breath in the mask and bacteria in the mouth!

The biggest cause of bad breath is bacteria in the mouth'. In particular, while we sleep, the secretion of saliva decreases, and the bacteria in the mouth multiply. Volatile sulfur compounds made by these bacteria cause morning bad breath, which can cause discomfort to yourself as well as your partner. In addition, if you wear a mask for a long time, the air does not pass well, making it a good environment for bacteria in your mouth to grow.

It also helps to get rid depending on the bad breath after eating, but on your brushing habits, it can cause bad breath. If you still have bad breath after brushing your teeth, check to see if you rinse your mouth well. This is because the surfactant in the toothpaste dries the mouth. Be sure to rinse your mouth thoroughly to avoid leaving any surfactant. In addition, you should refrain from brushing your teeth immediately after eating drinks or foods with strong acids such as carbonated noodles and naengmyeon. Teeth are corroded by acid, and brushing your teeth can cause more damage. We recommend brushing your teeth after 30 minutes. Therefore, it is important to keep your mouth clean before using the mask for a long time.

 

[ 3 ways to relieve bad breath]

1.Use of tongue cleaner to remove tongue

 Bacteria, which are widely distributed on the back of the tongue, near the throat, break down proteins and peptides contained in the tongue and create an unpleasant odor. Usually, you can remove tongue by brushing your teeth, but if you have a large amount of tongue, you may want to use a tongue cleaner. Gently scrape your tongue off with a tongue cleaner and rinse your mouth with water. Use it once or twice a day. However, if you brush too hard with a stiff toothbrush, you should be careful as it may hurt your tongue.

2. Breathe through your nose rather than your mouth so that your mouth is not dry!

Saliva prevents the invasion of harmful bacteria or protects wounds in the mouth. However, if you breathe through your mouth, your saliva will dry out because it is drier than when you breathe through your nose. Dry mouth is the best place for bacteria to grow because saliva doesn't do its job. As germs are infested, you will smell a lot of bad breath. Make it a habit to breathe through your nose to keep your saliva from drying out. Also, it is important to provide adequate hydration so that the mucous membranes in the mouth do not dry out, as saliva helps to remove food debris and acid, thereby inhibiting oral bacteria. Drink water rather than sugary or acidic beverages.

3. Eat foods that are good for relieving bad breath

Eating seaweed, sesame leaves, and carrots together at meals helps prevent bad breath. In particular, laver has a component called phycocyanin, which is good for decomposing substances that cause bad breath. In addition, it is rich in dietary fiber and is effective in removing debris from teeth or gums. If you drink tea after meals, green tea is recommended over coffee. Coffee has an ingredient called tannin that inhibits saliva secretion, which causes dry mouth. On the other hand, green tea has a flavonoid, which has a deodorizing effect, which can reduce bad breath.  

 

Mask management is important as the longer the time to wear the mask, the more bacteria in the mouth will grow. Those who have used the mask for an hour or two a day can dry it well in the sun and use it three or four times a day or two later. However, the mask must be kept clean, and it is not recommended to reuse the mask that has been used for three or four hours on days when the ultrafine dust is very bad. The number of times you touch the mask with your hands should be as small as possible. If you touch the inside with your hand and reuse it while putting on and taking off a mask, there is a risk that bacteria in your mouth will increase, which can cause bacterial growth.
