An Overview of Bad Breath

An Overview of Bad Breath
Most people worry about having bad breath, which is also known as halitosis, as shown by the enormous sale of breath fresheners. It's an unpleasant condition that's cause for embarrassment. Bad breath is normally caused by proteins in the mouth being broken down by bacteria. It is not contagious meaning you cannot catch it from someone else. Bad breath does not come from the stomach. Burpy smells of food you have eaten do. Food odors come and go with what you eat and should not be confused with bad breath.
