Bad breath: more bacteria in our mouths than in our toilets, dentists warn
Experts reveal it is a continuing preoccupation with dieting, and the increase in the number of people maintaining their natural teeth, that is leading to increased instances of ‘bad’ oral bacteria and persistent bad breath.
The Irish Dental Association (IDA) also reported a marked increase in the number of people using breath freshening products. Furthermore, there has been a large increase in people seeking professional advice in relation to bad breath. However, reportedly, it is more a case of what people fail to put into their mouths, than what they put in, that causes the problem.
