Bad breath is not a dangerous or fatal disease but it will somehow have a negative effect on your communication, work and social life. Particularly, those with severe bad breath are found to be unwilling, passive and embarrassed in communication. Some others even become depressed.
What are the causes of bad breath?
- Have a dry mouth: Dry mouth is due to lack of saliva provided to clean teeth and mouth muscles, causing some dead cells in teeth, gums and tongue. Therefore, bad smell will happen.
- Improper tooth brushing: A lazy tooth brushing habit or improper way of brushing teeth or eating so much sugar-contained food are the other causes of smelly odor in the mouth.
