In order to eliminate the unpleasant odor, it is necessary to find out its causes. It is necessary to fight not with the smell itself, but with its cause, only this way it will be possible to achieve its complete disappearance.

1. Poor hygiene. You need to brush your teeth at least 2 times a day and change the toothbrush at least once every 3 months.
2. Diseases of the teeth and gums. It can be a small hole in the tooth, into which food enters and begins to rot there, exuding a disgusting smell, moreover, this process is accompanied by painful sensations. Smell and pain are very disturbing symptoms, which indicate that you need to go to the dentist as soon as possible.
3. Dry mouth. Saliva is considered an excellent natural cleaner. It is she who washes away most of the bacteria that multiply in the mouth. When dry mouth is observed in the mouth, this indicates that the amount of saliva released decreased, which means that the cleansing of the oral cavity also decreased, which led to the appearance of a repulsive odor.
