How to beat bad breath odor? Here are some useful tips!!!

There are several terms to describe halitosis: bad breath, morning breath, breathe odor, but they all usually mean the same, an unpleasant odor exhaled on the breath.

Breath odor is not a serious problem by itself, except in cases when it is caused by some other dental disease(s,) it is not however something that will improve our interpersonal relationships.

Most breath odor is caused by food particles left in our mouths.  These remains are the breeding grounds for the halitosis bacteria.  Among other causes there is poor oral health, periodontal disease, improper cleaning of dentures, and of course smoking.  Sometimes it can be caused by stomach, lungs or bloodstream disease.

Less Calcium Means Fewer Teeth?


In accordance with a Danish study, low calcium intake is linked with having fewer teeth.

The study which involved 1,602 adults, ages 30 to 60, was made by researchers from Copenhagen University Hospital.

One part of people kept a week record of what they ate, at the time when others were interviewed about their food habits. This info was used for estimation of the amount of calcium each person took in through food and drinks.

It turned out that more than a half of adults did not receive the recommended amount of daily calcium: 45% of women and nearly 55% of men did.
