Bad breath, mouth odour, causes and remedies.

Mouth odour , bad breath, anyone you decide to call it is a big deal, both to the one who has it and the one who is close.
What are the usual causes, and how can it be remedied? Below are my suggestions. Once again. Consistency is the key to successfully overcoming this huge problem.

Most likely causes include the following.
Most people's mouth do not smell fresh when they wake up from bed. This is normal. If you brush your teeth before going to bed, the early morning smelly mouth will not be too bad, in fact some people don't smell at all.

In most cases, bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth breaking down bits of food.
Persistent bad breath is often a sign of gum disease.
Eating strongly flavoured foods, such as onions and garlic, can cause your breath to smell unpleasant.
Smoking and drinking a lot of alcohol can also cause bad breath.
Occasionally, bad breath is the result of an infection or illness, or taking some kinds of medication.

What can u do in such situations? 

 1.Good oral hygiene is usually enough to prevent and treat bad breath. 
2. Your dentist can advise you on how to improve your oral health and can refer you for further investigation if they think there may be another cause for your bad breath.

How to find out if u have it?

1. Get a very good friend to be absolutely honest, but do make sure they are a true friend.
2. A simple test you can do yourself is to lick the inside of your wrist and wait for the saliva to dry. If the area you licked smells unpleasant, it is likely that your breath does too.
This is nessesary cos no one will tell u if u have mouth odour. Even close friends won't. 

So test and see.
