What is Bad Breath?
Bad breath is caused by carelessness and uncleanliness of the teeth after having food. The food left between teeth putrefies and causes terrible smells. The bacteria in the mouth also proliferate and cause bad breath. Some diseases are related to bad breath, such as gum diseases, cavities, dry mouth, and oral cancer. To prevent bad breath, you need to take precautionary steps.

It’s easy to prevent bad breath; you just have to follow some instructions. Brush your teeth twice a day with a circular motion, especially after meals, and brush your tongue, as well. You have to make sure that no food or bacteria are on the tongue; if you can’t do it with a brush, use a scrubber to clean it properly. After you finish brushing, then rinse your mouth thoroughly with water.
