Bad Breath |
Bad breath, otherwise known as oral malodour or halitosis, is a
build up of volatile sulphur compounds and other gases produced by
bacteria. These gases form an unpleasant odour, which is noticeable
when one speaks or breaths out. Often this is worse after a night's
sleep and is called "Morning Breath". Oral malodour mainly occurs
from an accumulation of real bacteria if the whole mouth is not
thoroughly cleaned daily. Everybody gets bad breath or halitosis
on a regular basis, no matter how good your oral hygiene. Bad breath
is usually caused due to poor diet, drying of the mouth, not
brushing teeth regularly, illness, low fluid intake, stress, lack of
salivary flow and exercise. Some people are more prone to bad breath
(halitosis) than others, and need to pay extra attention in order to
maintain fresh breath. |

Do I have bad breathe? |
To detect whether you have bad breath, the
best way to check is to ask a family member, partner or a close
friend for their opinion. Another simple way to check if you have
bad breath is to lick your wrist. Leave the saliva to dry and smell
the area for any unpleasant odours |
