10 Common Causes of Bad Breath

Poor Dental Care

Another leading cause of bad breath is poor dental care. When food particles get trapped under the gums and between the teeth, bacteria would leave behind smelly gases as rotten eggs or even poop. Fortunately, you can deal with this issue simply by brushing teeth twice per day and flossing often. When brushing, do not forget your cheeks and tongue. Keep in mind that gum and cosmetic mouthwashes might only provide temporary results because both options cannot reduce bacteria. [2]
