Everyone experiences bad breath at one time or the other which is expected to improve after brushing, flossing and rinsing the mouth with alcohol free mouth wash (I.e taking care of the general oral health).

This foul smell originates in the mouth, throat or the tonsils (a set of lymphatic tissues located at the back of the throat) and it is caused by the waste excreted by the bacteria that helps in breaking down protein into amino acids.

These bacteria feast on proteinous substances such as food, mucus, phlegm, blood, diseases oral tissue etc and release sulphur compounds from the back of the tongue and throat and if unchecked the breath becomes worse and worse as long as the bacteria has something to feed on.
