Brilio.net - Bad breath is generally caused by the habit of rarely brushing your teeth and a lack of oral hygiene. This condition can reduce self-confidence and disturb the sufferer's comfort.
Quoted from the Healthline page, bad breath is generally caused by bacteria that grow because food remains stuck in the teeth. The remaining food will release sulfur compounds which cause the mouth to smell bad. If left untreated, the bacteria will multiply more and more, forming plaque and hardening into tartar.
Not only that, the bacteria that continues to grow can also make the gums become infected and cause pain or toothache. This tooth pain will also cause other problems, such as dental caries and cavities. Therefore, regularly cleaning your teeth is very important to maintain oral health and hygiene.
It doesn't stop there, it turns out that bad breath is also caused by several other factors, such as smoking, eating strong-smelling foods, digestive diseases, and serious medical conditions. So, if you are one of the people who experiences this condition, there is no need to worry, because you can overcome it by using natural ingredients.
