A dentist's secrets for always-fresh breath

Published on January 22, 2025

Fresh, pleasant breath is far more than a simple comfort: it is a reflection of good oral health and an asset for your everyday confidence. If you aspire to impeccable breath from morning to night, these expert tips will help you optimise your oral care routine!

Common mistakes to avoid

Even the best intentions can be undermined by unsuitable habits. Here are the three most common mistakes and how to address them:

1. Neglecting the tongue

The tongue is a true reservoir of bacteria responsible for volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which cause bad breath. Failing to clean it means allowing a large proportion of these bacteria to thrive.

2. Neglecting hydration

A dry mouth encourages the proliferation of harmful bacteria, which thrive in the absence of saliva. Insufficient hydration can therefore accentuate unpleasant odours.

3. Using overly harsh products

Products containing abrasive ingredients or powerful chemical agents can disrupt the oral microbiome and irritate the mucous membranes, thereby worsening breath problems. Favour gentle, natural formulas that respect oral balance.

The perfect routine, according to the experts

Adopting a complete and tailored routine is the key to maintaining fresh breath throughout the day. Here are the steps recommended by a dentist:

1. Gentle and effective brushing

Brush your teeth morning, noon, and evening with the Freshness Purifying Toothpaste, designed to neutralise bacteria whilst respecting the enamel and oral microbiome!

2. A liquid treatment for targeted action

Complement brushing with the Purifying Mouthwash. This liquid treatment works deeply to eliminate bacteria from areas that a toothbrush cannot reach, such as the interdental spaces and the tongue.

3. A serum to purify the tongue

All too often forgotten, the tongue must be purified daily to reduce the bacteria responsible for odours. The Intense Purifying Tongue Serum is specially formulated for this task, guaranteeing lastingly fresh breath.

A bonus tip: regular dental check-ups

Even with an impeccable routine, regular check-ups with the dentist remain essential. These appointments allow problems invisible to the naked eye to be detected — such as early-stage cavities or the beginnings of periodontal disease — which can have an impact on your breath and your general health.



A fresh and radiant smile every day

With these tips and a tailored routine, you can not only transform your breath but also improve your overall wellbeing. Make these habits a lasting part of your life for continuous freshness and a radiant smile that inspires confidence!
