Do You Have The Signs of Bad Breath? – Part 2
The problem with halitosis is you can’t easily learn if you are already a sufferer of one. The reason is you can’t possibly smell your breath via your own nose. It always has to take someone else before you find out you have a bad breath. Sometimes, bad breath can become so disgustingly stinky that even from a fair distance people can smell.
There are many causes why halitosis occurs.
People suffering from bad breath usually have problems practicing the proper oral dental hygiene. Not properly brushing and flossing teeth leave food and beverage particles in between the teeth and around the mouth lining. The particles breed bad bacteria, which then causes your breath to stink.
Anaerobic bacteria living beneath the surface of the tongue produce volatile sulfur compounds that smell like rotting eggs and old socks. The same bacteria are found in another major contributor to bad breath: tonsil stones.
