Oral Malodour / Foetor / Bad Breath / Halitosis
Oral malodor (halitosis) is a problem of all ages.
The most common cause of the oral malodor is the poor oral hygiene. Due to poor oral hygiene, a large number of bacteria belonging to different species make their home in the mouth. They survive on the food particles entangled in between the teeth and as a by-product, produce different substances like Sulphides, Mercaptans and Amines in gas form. These gases are perceived as bad breath by other people.
