General Health Information

While diabetes and other ailments may ultimately be the source of a chronic bad breath problem,
the most common culprits are gram negative anaerobic bacteria. Poor
oral hygiene will lead to an increase in the anaerobic population
levels when plaque is not removed. Plaque is formed by bacteria and
they reproduce rapidly behind this thin protective layer because it
creates an environment that is low in oxygen. Anaerobic literally means
“without oxygen” and this is particularly the kind of environment that
these harmful microorganisms breed fastest.
