How To Treat Halitosis In An Effective And Natural Way

Bad breath is one of the most well-known symptoms of halitosis. Some causes include chronic gastritis, poor oral hygiene, and excessive use of cigarettes, coffee, or alcohol. 

Fifty percent of people with halitosis suffer from this throughout their lives. However, it most often occurs in people over the age of 50.

Most cases of halitosis start in the mouth. This is due to a certain type of bacteria that is produced on the tongue. However, sometimes it is caused by food particles between the teeth. These food remains also cause cavities, which in turn cause bad breath.

In some cases, you can improve your bad breath yourself by taking a number of measures:

• Smoking less.
• Drink less coffee.
• Drink a lot of water.
• Improve your oral hygiene.
• Use mouthwash.
• Eat mint.

In addition, treatments for conditions such as gastritis can also contribute to fresher breath.
