Bad breath between the teeth is usually caused by food debris, dental plaque, or oral diseases.
1. To address this issue, maintain good oral hygiene habits by brushing your teeth at least twice daily for two minutes each time, and use dental floss or an interdental brush to thoroughly clean between the teeth to remove food debris and plaque.
2. Regular dental cleanings are also an effective way to prevent bad breath between the teeth, as they remove tartar and plaque buildup on the tooth surfaces, keeping the mouth clean.
3. If the bad breath between the teeth is caused by oral diseases such as gingivitis or periodontitis, seek timely professional treatment, such as medication or surgical treatment.
Through daily cleaning, regular dental checkups, and prompt treatment of oral diseases, bad breath between the teeth can be effectively managed. If you have any concerns, please consult a relevant healthcare professional.
