Where Persistent Bad Breath Comes From
- Coated Back Tongue: Sulfur-producing bacteria collect effortlessly in rough tongue grooves.
- Subgingival Tartar & Gum Pockets: Trapped plaque beneath gums releases noticeable odor.
- Untreated Decay or Food Traps: Cavities and partially covered wisdom teeth hold decomposing debris.
- Morning or Daytime Dry Mouth: Dehydration and mouth-breathing reduce saliva rinsing.
Removing bacterial biofilm on the tongue and scheduling professional tartar cleaning resolves most dental halitosis directly.
