These materials also form a paste-like layer of plaque on the tongue, creating an air-tight “blanket” that prevents oxygen from reaching the ridges and valleys of the tongue.  This allows for the growth of anaerobic bacteria which thrive in oxygen-free environments.  As the anaerobes feed and multiply, they produce a corresponding increase in the odorous sulfurous gas molecules.

Bad breath is caused by sulfurous gases excreted by anaerobic bacteria while they feed on accumulated dead tissue, blood elements and food debris in the mouth. These materials are usually located in the soft tissue areas of the mouth, primarily the tongue, gums, cheeks and lips.

The Source of Bad Breath

Everyone deals with bad breath from time to time, but for those of us with prolonged cases it can lower confidence and have a severe negative effect on all aspects of our social lives. The good news is that bad breath can be prevented, its just a matter of knowing what causes it and how to attack the problem at its source.

Breath Appeal’s powerful oxidizing formula attacks the source of bad breath, anaerobic bacteria, while at the same time degrading the particles and debris the bacteria use as a food source. Breath Appeal will turn your mouth into a hostile environment for the anaerobic bacteria, leaving you with fresh breath that lasts all day and all night.

Attacking the Problem at its Source

Anaerobic bacteria can hide in places that are impossible to reach through conventional cleaning methods. For this reason flossing, tongue scraping and brushing may not completely eliminate bad breath but still are very important to oral hygiene and will also help precondition your mouth for a treatment such as Breath Appeal.

People With Perfectly Good Oral Hygiene

Can Suffer From Bad Breath

Some people may have substantially more anaerobic bacteria in their mouth, more irregular tongue surfaces, or lower salivary flow than others. Any or all of these factors can lead to higher amounts of odorous sulfurous gas molecules that we identify as bad breath.
