How To Control Your Mouth Odour(bad Breath, Halitosis) by bloomstar: 6:11pm On Dec 12, 2017
its strange that amidst technology and advancements, people are still tied down in low self esteem because of their mouth odour,

Bad breath is a common problem that can affect anyone at any age.

About one in four people are thought to have bad breath (halitosis) on a regular basis.

What causes bad breath?

There are a number of things that can cause bad breath. It’s usually the result of poor oral hygiene. If bacteria build up in your mouth, the toxins produced can cause your breath to smell.

Bacteria break down pieces of food in the mouth, and may release an unpleasant-smelling gas. Any food trapped on your teeth – particularly between them – is broken down by bacteria, which may cause bad breath.

Persistent bad breath can sometimes be a sign of gum disease. Eating strongly flavoured foods, such as onions and garlic, can also cause your breath to smell, as can smoking and drinking alcohol.

Occasionally, bad breath can occur after an infection or illness, or as a result of taking certain types of medication.

Treating and preventing bad breath

Improving your oral hygiene is usually enough to cure bad breath and stop it happening again.

To improve your oral health, make sure you:

floss between your teeth daily
brush your teeth and gums regularly
clean your tongue regularly
use mouth wash such as hexidine mouth wash
