General Health Information

Your mouth is literally host to hundreds of different varieties of oral
bacteria-some of them beneficial and some of them harmful and what
causes bad breath. The harmful ones tend to be anaerobic-meaning that
they don’t like any environment that is well-oxygenated. The beneficial
flora, on the other hand, tend to thrive in environments that are rich
in oxygen. These two basic types of bacteria live in a relative balance
in your mouth and bad breath problems only arise when the anaerobic population begins to grow faster than it should.
