WHAT IS BAD BREATH?
Bad
breath is the side effect of the action taken by certain bacteria that live in the mouth, the tongue and the tonsils. The fact is that we all have these bacteria in our mouth. These
bacteria pretty much remain dormant until some action in their environment causes them to change.
Because they are anaerobic and sulfur producing, when they react to these changes they produce chemicals compounds. Some of these compounds smell and taste terrible like hydrogen sulfide which smells like rotten eggs and
other compounds. We will discuss some of these odors and possible relative odors further
on.
