Fresh Breath
The
most common cause of bad breath are volatile sulphur compounds (VSC) that are
produced when naturally occurring bacteria break down plaque and oral debris in
the mouth. We all have VSC in our mouths and it is only when they reach a
certain level that they become detectable by the nose.
The most effective way of combating bad breath is to maintain a high level of
oral care, with special emphasis on areas where bacteria thrive:
- On
the surface of the tongue
- Between
the teeth and below the gums
- Other hard to reach areas
