Are you afraid of your breath? Bad breath or Halitosis is caused by bacteria. This bacteria can be contributing to tooth decay or periodontal disease. The gaseous bacteria can accumulate under poor fitting dentures or partials, in between your natural teeth or on your tongue. Talk to your dentist or hygienist. They can demonstrate proper brushing and flossing and suggest oral rinses or sprays that can eliminate "VSC" or Volatile Sulfur Compounds.
Certain health conditions and medications can contribute to dry mouth which can also cause halitosis. Stay hydrated by drinking water which will also help wash away any bacteria.
