Eliminate bad breath: If you have this in your mouth, you could have these bacteria

What Causes Bad Breath?
Bad breath (halitosis) is often caused by bacteria in the mouth that produce sulfur compounds, creating an unpleasant odor. Poor oral hygiene or gum issues can make these bacteria thrive.

Common Symptoms:

White tongue: A coating may signal bacterial buildup.

Swollen or bleeding gums: Often linked to gingivitis, a common cause of bad breath.

Canker sores: Can reflect imbalances in oral bacteria.

Key Bacteria Behind Bad Breath:

Porphyromonas gingivalis: Causes gum disease.

Treponema denticola: Linked to periodontitis.

Fusobacterium nucleatum: Found in plaque and chronic bad breath.

How to Fight Bad Breath:

Brush your tongue: Removes bacteria coating.

Floss daily: Clears food and bacteria between teeth.

Use antibacterial mouthwash: Look for chlorhexidine or essential oils.

Visit your dentist regularly: Prevent and treat gum disease.

Extra Tips:

Stay hydrated: Dry mouth boosts odor-causing bacteria.

Eat crunchy fruits and veggies: Naturally clean your mouth.
