(EMAILWIRE.COM, February 03, 2012 ) Jonesboro, AR -- A Jonesboro dentist says the types of foods one eats can affect the air that is exhaled. Timothy Woodruff, a dentist in Jonesboro AR says foods such as garlic and onions can contribute to an objectionable bad odor coming from your mouth. According to the American Dental Association, “once the food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it is transferred to the lungs, where it is expelled.”

Woodruff & Woodruff Family Dentistry has a combined experience of over 57 years in Jonesboro, AR and is a member of the ADA. They recently added a new associate, Jonesboro dentist Robert A. Kaloghirou. The dental team stresses fresh breath with good daily dental habits.

“Regular brushing and flossing are great habits, but sometimes they're just not enough,” Timothy Woodruff says. “If one doesn’t brush and floss daily, particles of food remain in the mouth, collecting bacteria, which can cause bad breath. Food that collects between the teeth, on the tongue and around the gums can rot, leaving an unpleasant odor. Brushing, flossing and mouthwash will only temporarily mask the odor. These bad breath odors continue until the body eliminates the food from its system. Woodruff said dieters may also develop distasteful breath from infrequent eating habits.”

“It may be better to avoid certain foods, if they cause bad breath and have a routine meal plan,” Mr. Woodruff says. “Good dental hygiene is important. That’s why we stress holistic health for your teeth. We want to see you if you have tooth discomfort, if you’re thinking about cosmetic dentistry or if you just need a regular cleaning and check-up. Your teeth are a window to your body’s health.”

* Teeth Whitening
* Implant Restorations
