It is first important to understand what is causing your bad breath in the first place. Here are some probables:
Build-up of bacteria in your mouth. These emit odorous gases such as sulfur and other gases that cause the foul odor.
Gum disease.
Food trapped in the tonsils.
Disorders such as diabetes, liver disease, chronic bronchitis, and respiratory tract infections.
Not properly cleaned dentures.
Brush and floss after every meal. Reduce caffeine intake. Quit smoking. Cut back on alcohol. Don't miss the dentist appointment. Watch what you eat. Here's a list of foods that would help prevent bad breath, or halitosis, and maybe even cure it.
