There are several reasons for bad breath; however, the number one reason for bad breath is an increase in the bacteria that overlays the tongue.
The tongue carries the highest amount of bacteria in the mouth. That’s why it’s important to brush your tongue after you brush your teeth.
Other factors like overall oral health, for example: your last check up and cleaning appointment, amount of decay present, periodontal condition (gum health), diet, and stomach problems like ulcers and amount of bacteria in the stomach.
All these factors contribute to bad breath.
