Bad breath can often be the first sign of a disease. But how do doctors define bad breath and what are the major causes of bad breath?...

Q: I Think I Have Bad Breath

I think that I have bad breath. So terrible that people turn away from me, and I am starting to completely avoid social situations. My wife says I dont, as have doctors, but I still think I do. It is ruining my life. I can't even go grocery shopping anymore without anxiety. I also feel like I smell. Lately I have been unable to have sex with my wife and I am afraid it is linked to this. Help me please. I don't want to see a therapist, I just want to get better.

Mouth Wash

Thee antibacterial properties of the mouthwash.
If a mouthwash has the ability to kill bacteria it can play a part in helping to reduce the total number of anaerobic bacteria which are present in a person's mouth. Since these bacteria are the ones which produce volatile sulfur compounds, which in turn are the actual cause of bad breath, the fewer of them that are present the better.
