We have millions of bacteria that live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue and these bacteria feed on the food debris that accumulates in the mouth and between our teeth. The bacteria give off a sulphur compound and it is this that creates the bad odour. Smoking and drinking alcohol contribute to the unpleasant odour. There are other conditions which affect the airways and stomach that can lead to bad breath too.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text el_class=&#8221;our-team-section-page-text-box&#8221;]Improving your oral hygiene is the most effective way to eliminate bad breath.
