What Causes Bad Breath?
Bad breath, which is also known as Halitosis is caused by odor-producing bacteria that grow in the mouth and the sulfur compounds released by all these bacteria will make your breath smell.
Bad oral hygiene, Medical disorder, Alcohol, Smoking and the food we ate can cause bad breath.
When you are facing more than just bad breath such as excessive plague buildup and also gingivitis, you also may be suffering from Periodontitis.
Periodontitis is an advance stage of gum disease. It causes symptoms like pain in one of your teeth when eating, swollen gums or pus around the gum.

How To Prevent Bad Breath
- Practice Good Oral Hygiene
Brush your teeth at least twice a day or every time after food to remove the plague. Flossing your teeth daily can help to remove the food debris stuck in between your teeth where a tooth brush can't reach. Change a new tooth brush every 2 months.
- See a dentist every half yearly
Visit the dentist for a regular check up is the best way to check on any gum diseases or tooth problems like decayed tooth or dry mouth which may cause bad breath.
- Avoid smoking
Smoking can stain your teeth and also cause bad breath. Smoking can dry your mouth which generally can leave a bad breath behind.
- Brushing your tongue
Tongue brushing is also necessary because it will remove the bacteria or food particles that causes bad breath. Special tongue scrapers can be used in this case.
- Drink more water
Drinking more water will keep your mouth moist which will stimulate the production of saliva that will help to wash away the food particles and bacteria.

The Worst Remedies For Bad Breath!!!
Have you been trying all these?
You can beat bad breath with certain home remedies but NOT ALL are good for getting rid of bad breath. Perhaps some will even make your bad breath worse. Here are the warnings to some of the worst bad breath remedies of all time!!!- Excessive use of mouthwash
Mouthwash have considerable amount of alcohol and this can dry out the mouth which can cause bad breath. Mouthwash should not be used for the whole day to treat bad breath, it can temporarily freshen your breath but it will not tackle the bad breath problem.
- Breath mints or chewing gums
Breath mints only mask the odor and can risk your teeth to cavities. While chewing gums can increase salivary flow, it also will only help to mask bad breath. Switch to drinking more water instead.
- Mint chew tobacco
It causes gums to recede and increases the chance of losing the bone and fibers that hold your teeth in place and can cause oral cancer.
- Brushing with cleanser
Many products consist of chemical and can be poisonous. Hence, it should not be consumed or even use to clean your mouth.
- Alcohol
You may have seen doctors swabbing alcohol on our skin to sterilize that area before an injection but that does not mean drinking alcohol can help to reduce or remove oral bacteria. Instead, it dry our mouth and cause bad breath.
- Rinsing with kerosene
This sound ridiculous, but some people really try that. This is really a No No to try.
- Intestinal cleansing method
Bad breath does not comes from your stomach. It is the anaerobic bacteria in your mouth that is producing the smelly sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Some commercial products such as stomach pill sold outside claim to cure bad breath are normally not true.
