Remedy For Halitosis
Posted by buliyfe22@yahoo.com | Filed under Uncategorized
Bad breath is caused by odor-producing bacteria that grow in the mouth. The sulfur compounds released by these bacteria make your breath smell.
Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions that contain pungent oils, can contribute to bad breath because the oils are carried to your lungs and out through your mouth. Smoking is also a major cause of bad breath.
Bad breath or halitosis has been a problem for mankind since the beginning of most of recorded history. Alcohol based mouthwashes can, for example, dry out the tissues in the mouth and cause the tissues to secrete plasma proteins which worsen the condition over time.
The “morning mouth” type of bad breath occurs because the saliva that regularly washes away decaying food and odors during the daytime diminishes at night while you sleep. Bacteria use these cells for food and expel compounds that have a foul odor.
The options for treating halitosis are also growing surprisingly with the increase in its awareness.
