What causes bad breath?
If I were to tell you each and every reason for bad breath, I’d have to write several volumes of books and get into a lot of technical details neither you nor I would understand.

No matter how much you brush and floss your teeth, the problem doesn’t seem to go away does it? Well, if you want to defeat your enemy, you must know your enemy. So please take a good close look at it below.
What Causes Bad Breath? 9 out of 10 times, this is it.
Like I mentioned before, there are 9 chances out of 10 that this little guy is the problem you’ve been struggling with. He lives in your mouth in abundance and there is NO WAY you can get rid of him through conventional brushing and flossing!
They are called
anaerobic bacteria,
and the most important thing to know about them is that they are anaerobic, meaning that they will only survive in a low oxygen environment. It’s primordial to know this bit of information because with that knowledge, you will learn how to effectively kill bad breath.
What all of this basically means is that you most probably have a bacterial imbalance in your mouth. That's what causes bad breath! There are over 20 different types of these anaerobic bacteria whose whole purpose is to make your life as difficult as they can.
What causes bad breath? Probably NOT your oral hygiene.
I’m sure you have great oral hygiene and spend more time in the bathroom cleaning your mouth then most people you know, but as you probably have come to understand by now, it’s not enough and I’ll tell you why:
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 Sulphure Compound or more commonly known as VSC. And the more bacteria you have, the more VSC they produce and release. These sulphure 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.
Here are some of the symptoms of chronic bad breath:
Before moving on, I need to mention something you're probably already aware of. Chronic Bad breath can have a devastating effect on a persons life on all levels…but only if you let it. It’s a medical condition, and therefore should be viewed and treated as such. So don’t let bad breath control you !
