Before you can cure your bad breath ,  you will have to examine the cause of the bad breath or at least have some idea of what is causing it in order to treat it effectively. Bad breath is a common condition that affects one in four people and it is good to know that there is a cure and bad breath can be treated effectively. 

80 to 90 percent of the cases of bad breath revolves around the mouth and they usually include oral bacteria, foods, smoking, dentures, and dry mouth.  Each of these different causes of bad breath will be related to either chronic or short-term bad breath. You can find a cure for bad breath for each of these conditions.

 1. Oral Bacteria is a number one cause of chronic bad breath and can be eliminated through regular brushing and flossing of your teeth and regular brushing or scraping of your tongue.  Oral bacterial lives in your mouth and seems to favour the tongue as one of its favorite hiding spots. You must dislodge food particles and plaque from your mouth so that bacteria cannot thrive in your mouth.

In fact, plaque is one of the leading causes of bad breath. Plaque is the invisible layer of bacteria that is present in your mouth. Bacteria can often cause bad breath. When you adopt a regular brushing and flossing routine, you can eliminate oral bacteria and bad breath from your life. Do note that other dental factors, such as gum disease and cavities, can also cause bad breath.

2. Food are often a leading contributor to bad breath. For instance, a meal that has garlic in it can cause breath that is strong and foul. Other strong foods include onions and curry spices. These foods are carried along in the bloodstream and are then exhaled through the lungs. It is recommended that you eat a sprig of parsley, cloves, fennel seeds or peppermint to mask the odour. The odour cannot be eliminated because it originates in your intestinal tract and you must wait a day for the odour to leave your body naturally. 

3. Smoking causes chronic bad breath from the smell of the tobacco and because it leaves your gums and teeth prone to gum disease which causes bad breath.  In order to prevent the risk of mouth and gum disease and bad breath caused by smoking, it is recommended that you quit smoking. 

4. Dentures can cause chronic bad breath when the dentures are not cleaned regularly.  Food particles can be caught in the appliances and unless the dentures are washed regularly, the food particles will help oral bacteria thrive in your mouth. 

5. Dry Mouth is a condition that can cause short-term or chronic bad breath because moisture helps to clean the tissues of the mouth.  If the mouth is too dry, bacteria cannot be moved away from the mouth.  You can drink the recommended daily amount of water and juices to replenish the moisture in your mouth tissues and this will help to flush out oral bacteria.  Brushing and flossing must be regularly maintained when a dry mouth condition is present to prevent bad breath.
