Our mouth is supposed to be full of saliva most of the time. Saliva helps our mouth stay healthy by killing bacteria and repairing our teeth (albeit very slowly). And it helps remove food debris. If you have a dry mouth, it’s easier for odors to build up because of food or bacteria.
If food is the cause of your bad breath, brush your teeth after you eat. Antibacterial toothpaste can help prevent bad breath. Don’t forget to brush your tongue as well as your teeth. Make sure to also floss at least once a day to get rid of trapped food particles that can cause bad breath. Finally, rinse with a mouthwash containing fluoride to eliminate odors and give your teeth an extra layer of protection.

While there is not scientific evidence to support an answer to the question, we believe the answer is yes. It makes sense to assume that the masks trap our exhaled air against the face, providing the opportunity to smell it. If that exhaled air contains the sulfurous gases of bad breath, we believe that our noses are more likely to detect them in that trapped environment.
2. Encourage regular dental check-ups: Take your child to the dentist regularly for check-ups and cleanings. The dentist can identify any dental issues that may be causing bad breath and provide appropriate treatment.
Debris and bacteria start accumulating in the tonsil, resulting in (white) stones. The condition is also known as tonsilloliths, and if ignored, it further results in a painful throat as well as a foul smell. Detailed oral health inspection may be required to check the symptoms of tonsil stones in the throat area.
Tonsilloliths are generally harmless. However, they can cause discomfort and a foul smell, so tonsil stones treatment mainly includes home remedies and medical procedures.
Brush your tongue, cheeks, and the roof of your mouth. Most bad breath bacteria live on the tongue. So brushing or scraping the tongue can make a big difference in your breath.

2. Dental Treatment of Active Diseases – You cannot win the fight against bad breath if you have cavities and/or gum disease. Both of these bacterial infections continue to worsen and grow over time without intervention. Stop them by undergoing any recommended dental treatment.
Luckily Premier Family Dental has a course of action to take to actually prevent tonsil stones from showing up in the first place. We recommend that every morning and night you use mouthwash. Also try to avoid foods like popcorn, sesame seeds, and spinach. These have a high chance of leaving food particles stuck in your tonsils. Thus eventually forming tonsil stones.
