Britons should keep brushing their teeth to avoid halitosis under the mistletoe.
Britons planning to steal a kiss under the mistletoe this Christmas had best remember to brush their teeth twice daily, as bad breath could be a definite mood breaker.
Wales Online reported that if a regular oral health routine is not maintained, then problems such as halitosis and plaque build-up or gum disease can be the result, possibly leading to a trip to see the emergency dentist.
Therefore, people are advised to brush their teeth twice daily and also to use dental floss and mouthwash to ensure bacterial build-up and plaque are kept to a minimum.
Furthermore, individuals should book regular trips to the dentist for a check-up, while visiting a dental hygienist could help a person garner some good tips on how to improve their oral health.
Elsewhere, Dentist Dr Phil Stemmer recently told the Daily Mail that when brushing, people should use a small-headed toothbrush that can get into the gaps in and around the teeth to ensure all food debris is removed.
