Can bad breath be prevented

Answer 1

While it may be that some "families" are more prone to have bad breath there is no scientific evidence that bad breath is genetic. According to the School of Dental Medicine in New York, 80 - 90 % of bad breath is caused by bacteria (Solobacterium morrei) that lives on the top of the tongue and produces compounds that contain sulfur. These researchers reported to cure chronic bad breath by having the people brush their teeth and clean their tongue twice a day. Mints, gum, and mouthwash are frequently used to control bad breath, however, these products only cover up bad breath for a very short time. Using these products is like trying to cure body odor with perffume. In order to control bad breath the cause of bad breath must be removed, thus, cleaning of the tongue is essential in order to eliminate bad breath. The type of tongue cleaner is very important. A tongue scraper does not clean the tongue. A toothbrush is designed to clean the teeth, not the tongue. The best tongue cleaner has a brush and a scraper so the bacteria that live in the deep indentations of the tongue will be removed.
