Bad breath is most often due to either uncontrolled periodontal (gum) disease, stomach problems with regurgitation, uncontrolled diabetes, or a predisposition to a certain type of "odor" producing bacteria. Brush or use a tongue scraper to clean you tongue regularly and use a dentist administered cleansing mouth rinse such as " Breath RX". Manufactured by Discuss Dental, Breath Rx contains "Zytex". Zylex eliminates the volatile sulfur compounds that are produced by gram-negative bacteria by both neutralizing the sulfur compounds and killing the causative bacteria.
