The root cause of Halitosis ( Bad Breath)
Generally, bad breath originates from gums and tongue. It can also take birth from stomach but its very unlikely. The bacteria from the decay of food particles is mainly responsible for the abhorrent smell. Other reasons can be poor oral hygiene or the debris left in the mouth. This decay process produces a sulphur compound which produces the unpleasant odour.
How to keep a check on bad breath?

. Keep rinsing your mouth after your meals. This a temporary solution and works at times.
. Cut down spicy food. Spicy food also adds to the cause and increase the unpleasant odour.
. Brush your teeth when you wake up in the morning and before you go to bed in night. Brushing should include tongue and cheeks too.
. Drinking fluids is also a smart solution.
. Don't eat tobacco products at any cost. Tobacco smoke produces substances like nicotine, tar etc which accumulates on a person's teeth which not only produces unpleasant odour but also a very ugly look. Drink less alcohol too.
. Use good toothpaste which neutralize sulphur compounds and have anti-bacterial properties.
. Do not skip your breakfast. Missing your breakfast may allow bacteria to re-appear.
