Bad Breath Sufferers Beware
Do you smoke, drink alcohol, take heart, sinus, birth control, or antidepressant medicines, or are over 55 years old? A positive answer to any one of these conditions means you have diminished salivary flow and are prone to bad breath. If you are dieting successfully, or your gum disease is active (bleeding gums) – you’re going to have bad breath!
The Fresh Breath Clinic in Toronto carried out a study (under Anne Bosy, co-founder) that showed that most people with bad breath do not have gum disease. She showed that actually it is the sulphur-producing bacteria that are the source of the halitosis. They live happily under the plaque and mucous layers at the back of the tongue.
