Bad Breath is an extremely common problem and almost everyone worries whether they have it or not. Research shows that 55-65% of people have halitosis chronically and 95% of the adult population suffer from it at some time or another. There are, however, two ends of the bad breath spectrum:-
-
'Morning breath'. Most of us have experienced this as when we sleep our salivary glands rest so there is insufficient saliva to wash away bacteria and food debris. It is however a temporary problem which can be rectified by brushing and rinsing with an antibacterial, alcohol-free mouthwash.
- Halitosis. By contrast, halitosis is more prolonged often with more serious symptoms, caused by an excess of bacteria giving off odourous gases. If more efficient oral hygiene does not eradicate the problem then a visit to your dentist or fresh breath specialist will be required.
