BAD BREATH
CAUSES OF BAD BREATH
Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath and there are many reasons why people might experience it. These can range from what we eat and drink, to how well we look after our teeth and gums.
If you notice you have halitosis, it could also be a sign you are suffering from something more troublesome, like gum disease.
BLEEDING GUMS AND HALITOSIS
There are a number of causes of bad breath. The build-up of plaque bacteria around, on and in between your teeth is one of them. This is because when the bacteria breaks down pieces of food in your mouth, it may release an unpleasant smelling gas.
Halitosis can therefore be an embarrassing and unpleasant condition to suffer from, especially when it comes to interacting in social situations or when you want to get close to someone.
HOW CORSODYL COULD HELP
With twice daily brushing, Corsodyl Complete Protection Toothpaste is 4x more effective* than a regular toothpaste at removing the build up of plaque along the gum line (the area where the gum meets the tooth), helping to keep gums healthy, teeth strong and breath smelling fresh.
It’s important to remember, though, plaque is just one of a number of potential causes of bad breath, so make sure you speak to your dentist or hygienist if you have any concerns.
