Problem: Bad Breath
Believe me when I say there are
many people who have bad breath. Bad breath can be socially awkward, but is
also a warning sign of more serious problems.
Experts say that the strong odor of
bad breath is hydrogen sulfide gas, the same gas used in chemical warfare
during WWII. I can be hazardous to your health to breath that 24/7.
Causes:
Of course, bad breath can be caused by the foods you
eat. Food left on your between teeth, on your gums and tongue for a long
time can ferment giving off a foul odor. Smoking and other forms of
tobacco are also obvious causes.
Tooth decay and gum disease can
also lead to conditions where odors are a result.
I have often been heard to say,
“Bad breath is better than no breath at all!”
