There are few who have not suffered at one time or another, from bad breath. Some rules of hygiene can help mitigate these inconveniences.
Bad breath,, also known as halitosis, is not a mysterious phenomenon. We know precisely its immediate cause: it is due to the presence of sulfur compounds, including hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan, which give the breath a rotten egg smell. A device exists even for quantifying the presence of these compounds, halimeter, which are hardly seen, however, the usefulness in clinical practice.
First charge: bacteria
Fresh breath Nine times out of ten, the origin of bad breath is oral. It is believed that bacteria accumulate in the furrows dug by the papillae on the posterior part of the tongue. These are bacteria that produce extremely volatile sulfur compounds, which escape in the expired air. The presence of these bacteria also explains the bad smell morning. Saliva is less abundant during the night, they tend to accumulate. The simple act of getting up, drinking or taking your breakfast is usually sufficient to eliminate the smell and they are responsible for.
