General Health Information

What causes bad breath in the first place? Many of us tend to assume
that the cause of bad breath is either food or poor oral hygiene. Food
may cause short term halitosis and can be indirectly linked with
chronic problems. Once the food passes from our system, however, the bad breath problem
should disappear. Indirectly, food can cause breath by increasing the
amount of food available to anaerobic bacteria and thus increase their
population and the levels of toxins they produce. Believe it or not,
bacteria feces are ultimately the causes of bad breath in nearly 9 out
of 10 cases!
