BEWARE OF BAD BREATH

The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene, says Dr Anaboussi. But on holiday, a change in diet, drinking more alcohol than usual and hot weather are also culprits. ‘Hot weather can cause dehydration – when the mouth gets dry, some acids in the mouth aren’t so easily neutralised,’ explains Neil. ‘Saliva acts as a natural cleanser and with less saliva flowing around your mouth, you can get a coating on your tongue and plaque builds up more easily, leading to bad breath. So, drink water regularly and brush twice a day.’
