What is Bad Breath? Reasons of bad breath? Looking for Dentist nearby for bad breath? Remedies for bad breath?
Are you embarrassed of unpleasant breath in front of your friends and family?
Don't worry it can happen to anyone, you might need to consult a dentist nearby or oral-health-care professionals.
Bad breath also known as Halitosis or malodor in medical terms is breath that has an unpleasant smell resulting from poor dental health habits and may be sign of other health problems.
Not all bad breaths can be considered as health concerns ,some types of them, such as "morning mouth," are considered to be normal because the saliva that regularly washes away decaying food and odors during the daytime diminishes at night while you sleep. Which results in your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells adhere to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. Large amount of bacteria that live in the mouth (particularly on the back of the tongue) use these cells as food and expel compounds that have a foul odor.
