We tend to think of a bad problem more like a simple nuisance than an indicator of a potentially more serious medical condition. After all, why would there be so many bad breath products and simple over-the-counter solutions if it was something that demanded immediate medical attention? Therefore, we carry around a pocket filled with breath mints and tend to shrug the problem off as a side effect of our love affair with spicy foods or some similarly trite explanation. Sometimes, however, chronic bad breath is a warning sign that should be taken very seriously or you risk severe consequences to your long term health.
This is far from some exaggerated claim meant to sell bad breath products because the number two cause of chronic halitosis is gum disease. Were you to visit a dentist for your bad breath symptoms, they might use a Halimeter to determine the origin of the problem. Were the Halimeter to indicate that the emissions responsible for your halitosis were coming from the back of the tongue, then you would have the garden variety bad breath and there would be no need for alarm. However, if the machine indicated that the gum line was the source of trouble, then you have gum disease.
The bad breath caused by gum disease is due to anaerobic bacteria that create an infection in the gum tissue. These bacteria like to hide behind and among plaque build-up (that invisible or sometimes opaque film that feels sticky and clings to your teeth and gums) because it is an oxygen-depleted environment and they breed much better in such circumstances.

u might have bacteria or a yeast infection in your mouth, if chewing gum doesnt work then ask ur doc and they can give you stuff to kill da bacteria
beleive it or not, but you have a peice of old food stuck behind your wisdom or last molar.
it only takes a tiny rotten peice of food to stink to high heaven!
Also, chewing gum after meals helps.
Hi, people get bad breath because of a build up of bacteria. Try using small interdental brushes between your molar teeth instead of floss. Also use a mouthwash called Retardex, specifically designed to combat halitosis. Hope this helps.
