How To Prevent Or Get Rid Of Halitosis-Bad Breath

Have you ever thought about the breath that comes out of you and what it does to the other person? The mouth has an acceptable odor. But malodor occurs when you allow bacteria to make home on the surface and back of your tongue, below the gum line and in between teeth, because of poor oral hygiene.

Halitosis or bad breath has robbed many people of their social standing and curtailed their ability to take advantage of opportunities. Because their breath puts people off. Breath odor is at its worse in socials. Think what will happen if you did not know that you had bad breath and you tried to kiss your date, at that crucial moment of establishing intimacy, and she pulls away, disgusted?

Ah sure, you will be bewildered as to why she behaved that way. In 99% of such instances she will not tell you why and you will not see her again, she will shun your overtures and put paid to the budding relationship. No one will conveniently put up with mouth odor from you. If they have no choice, they despise you secretly.

Oral health depends greatly on personal habit. How often do you brush and floss? Do you scrape your tongue to clean out food deposit that accumulates on it? Eating and allowing food particles to decay in the different hard to access spaces in between teeth, on your tongue and gums will eventually cause Halitosis causing bacteria to develop, multiply and make you an out cast. Because anyone who listens to whatever you have to say gets turned off the moment you open your mouth.
