Bad Breath Cures, getting it right

Unfortunately everyone gets bad breath. Bad breath cures are necessary for every single one of us from time to time. Despite how much we gargle or floss or brush, we still have those germs in our mouths that make stinky breath.

Why bad breath happens

The basic cause of bad breath is bacteria that produce sulfur. They live on the tongue and in the throat and really they are naturally occurring, so they'll always be there.

They are meant to help digestion in that they break down proteins, occuring in food, phlegm, blood and mouth tissue.

Now and then these bacteria break down those proteins really quickly and then the amino acids in proteins produce halitosis or bad breath.

The bacteria "eats" the proteins in the mouth and releases sulfur compounds as it does and as long as you ignore this, your breath gets increasingly bad.

Dispelling bad breath myths

You have to understand that this bacteria that is causing you grief is not a sign of bad health or poor oral hygiene. It is not an affliction or a disease. You can't catch bad breath from anyone else.

Your breath is bad because your bacteria are working too fast on digesting your proteins.

How to stop bad breath

Slow down the rate at which your bacteria are working and you won't have bad breath.

This means a system to keep your breath fresh, your mouth clean and your teeth healthy and plaque and cavity free.

Results are not instantaneous, but the effort is worth the reward of a genuine bad breath cure.
