If you have chronic bad breath, I'm sure you have great oral hygiene and spend more time in the bathroom cleaning your mouth then most people you know.
Unfortunately as you probably have come to understand by now, it's not enough and I'll tell you why: The cause for bad breath is a bacterial imbalance in the mouth in 90% of cases.
One particular type of germ responsible for halitosis stands out.
They are called anaerobic bacteria and there are some 20 different types of them in your mouth.
Anaerobic bacteria, being oxygen intolerant, will always look for low oxygen places where to settle, feed, and breed.
The main places where the environment is ideal for its development are deep inside taste buds of the tongue (not the surface), in between your teeth, under the gum line, and inside mucus at the back of your tongue and throat.
Because these areas are hard to reach, they are more difficult to clean, leaving anaerobic bacteria free to feed and breed.
When feeding, they will produce wastes in the form of gases called Volatile Sulfure Compound or more commonly known as VSC.
And the more bacteria you have, the more VSC they produce and release.
These sulfure gases, when exhaled, are what causes bad breath.
Anaerobic bacteria are the source of halitosis, but the gases they release as waste product are the cause of bad breath.
Since there are many types of anaerobic bacteria, there are many types of VSCs.
The smells from someone suffering from chronic halitosis can vary from feces to gasoline.
Yes, trust me I know...
that is a very embarrassing problem to have.
Theses bacterias will mainly feed on food residue left over in your mouth after a meal.
They particularly enjoy proteins and sugars and as a result, will release a profusion of VSC gases.
I think you know by now what happens next: BAD BREATH.
The key to effectively treat this condition is by reversing the mouth's environment into hostile ground for the bacteria.
There are several unique ways to change the oral flora and achieve long term relief from chronic halitosis.
