Bad breath is usually caused by the breakdown of proteins by bacteria in the mouth. These naturally occurring bacteria feeds on proteins and produces volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) which is the cause of the odour. If you don’t brush and floss your teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, promoting bacteria growth causing breath to smell.

Smoking and sinus conditions also contribute to bad breath. Dental causes include: poorly fitting dental appliances, gum disease, abscessed teeth, plaque accumulation, yeast infections of the mouth and tooth decay.

The medical condition dry mouth (xerostomia) can cause bad breath. Saliva is necessary to moisten and cleanse the mouth by neutralizing acids produced by plaque and washing away dead cells that accumulate in the mouth. If not removed, these cells decompose and can cause bad breath. Dry mouth may also be caused by various medications, salivary gland problems, or continuous breathing through the mouth.

Practice good oral hygiene. Brush teeth and tongue twice a day after you eat with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque. Replace your toothbrush every 2 to 3 months. Use floss or an interdental cleaner to remove food particles and plaque between your teeth once a day. Use a mouthwash before sleeping. Dentures should be removed at night and cleaned thoroughly before being placed in your mouth the next morning. Drink lots of water to keep your mouth moist. Chewing sugarless gum also stimulates the production of saliva, which helps wash away food particles and bacteria. You could also use Triple Complex HaliTonic to counter bad breath.

Hello Friends........

According to experts. Bad breath is caused by "volatile sulfur compounds" in your mouth. These compounds are produced by the bacteria in your mouth. The odor causing compounds are found in amoung your teeth, under the top layer of your tongue and in your throat and tonsils.

Hello
Most people believe bad breath is caused by eating or drinking consumables that are especially odorous. While this is partially true, a more in depth explaination is helpful to those of us who suffer from bad breath and are searching for the causes and cures.

Remember your high school biology class... I didn't think so. One thing I do remember from that class is that organisms such as bacteria pass the tests which classify them as "living". One of those tests involves giving off waste. Think about it, the stuff in your mouth that causes bad breath is bacteria dooty!

When we brush, the easy to reach areas get plenty of attention. The front part of your tongue, your teeth and some other areas are much easier to reach than others. The other areas are the problem. The back of your tongue, your thoat and tonsils are areas that get neglected. The bacteria that causes bad breath resides in these areas just as in the easy to reach areas.

But what about mouth rinses. Don't they reach these areas?... Not really. The areas needing attention are the back of your tongue, tonsils and the deep part of your throat. To truly reach these areas and clean them in a manner that will stop bad breath is very difficult. To rid yourself of bad breath, you have to neutralize the volitile sulfur compounds caused by the bacteria in these areas of your mouth. This is why many of us gargle and rinse but still battle bad breath.

Bad breath, or halitosis, can be a major problem, especially when you're about to snuggle with your sweetie or whisper a joke to your friend. The good news is that bad breath can often be prevented with some simple steps.

Bad breath is caused by odor-producing bacteria that grow in the mouth. When you don't brush and floss regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in your mouth and between your teeth. The sulfur compounds released by these bacteria make your breath smell.

Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions that contain pungent oils, can contribute to bad breath because the oils are carried to your lungs and out through your mouth. Smoking is also a major cause of bad breath.

Hello Friends.........

Bad Breath is caused by the presence of oral bacteria. There can be, however, other factors that influence the odor associated with one's breath and, in fact, the quality of a person's breath will ultimately depend on a number of different variables.
