Vaccines may one day stop bad breath before it starts
June 27, 2011 - Bad breath is caused by bacteria. Bacterial infections can sometimes be prevented through the use of vaccines. So, the obvious question is, do vaccines exist for halitosis? Could they? According to several groups of researchers, they could.

Study breaks down what causes bad breath and how to detect it
June 23, 2011 - What causes halitosis? Many different factors can pitch in, says an article lately published in the Journal of Dentistry. How many effective ways are there to diagnose the condition?

I have bad breath. What's living in my mouth?

Moisture puts bad breath in its place
June 14, 2011 - Most dental health experts agree that, in addition to poor oral care, tooth decay and tobacco use, one of the primary causes of bad breath is a lack of moisture in the mouth.

Bacteria associated with halitosis, periodontal disease found in amniotic fluid
June 6, 2011 - The bacteria that cause bad breath, gum disease and tooth decay are multitudinous, with several studies suggesting that those strains found in the mouth number in the hundreds.

Why can't I smell my own bad breath?
June 2, 2011 - Numerous researchers have pointed to the same contradiction in the logic behind the extent of human bad breath - namely, that the majority of people suffer from halitosis, but very few know when they have it. Many individuals are also not sure what to do about it, especially when it persists. Here is a rundown of what keeps our own bad breath from us and what treats it, both immediately and over time.
