It’s a nightmare which lots of us have. This bad breath is caused by a bacteria in mouth, called Halitosis. This is breaking down food debris which creates by-products containing sulfur compounds that emit a smell like rotten eggs. Bacteria, like all of us, consume food. And of course like all food consuming living creatures, they excrete waste.. That’s what makes the bad smell. Like all other bacterium, they need an area free of oxygen to stay alive, and thus, they live in areas that are difficult to reach. They may be caused by poor dental hygiene and tooth decays, troubles and infections on respiratory system, infections in mouth, dry-mouth problems. But 90% of bad breath originates in the mouth. So, what really matters is oral hygiene. So, you better take care of your mouth and your oral hygiene.
