Bad Breath


Bad Breath Definition

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a very common temporary condition caused by such things as oral dryness, stress, hunger (ketosis), eating certain foods such as garlic and onions, smoking, or poor oral hygiene.
Bad breath is caused by odor-producing bacteria that grow in the mouth. When people don't brush and floss regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in the mouth and between the teeth. The sulfur compounds released by these bacteria make the breath smell.

Baking soda has long been an effective teeth cleaner, but most of us don't want to try it because it feels awkward. Adding to your list, you also shouldn't forget to eat good food at the most appropriate times of the day. Doing this also prevents halitosis. We should be responsible enough to take care of our oral hygiene, because it is considered half of our health. :)
