Bad breath, or halitosis, is often caused by specific bacteria that thrive in the mouth, particularly anaerobic bacteria such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Treponema denticola. These bacteria produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) as metabolic byproducts, leading to unpleasant odors. Additionally, other bacteria like Fusobacterium and Prevotella can contribute to bad breath, especially in cases of gum disease or poor oral hygiene. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental check-ups can help control these bacteria and reduce bad breath.
