There are other natural ways to keep our breadth fresh always, with some natural products that are easy to use. Before that, I would like to mention some of the prominent reasons of bad breath.

Why do we suffer from bad breath?

  • The most prominent reason of bad breath is due to something struck between our teeth. Some food particle struck between the teeth starts decaying and then gives out foul smell.
  • It can also be due to some untreated cavity or some gum disease (periodontal).
  • Plaque, formation of the invisible bacteria in the dirty mouth is also one of the reasons of bad breath.
  • Frequent chewing of tobacco and other strong smell products like garlic and onion can also makes your breadth smell bad.
