Kissable breath
.............................................................................
Nothing is more exiting than your first romantic kiss.
To ensure both you and your partner's pleasure, many products are on the market to mask unpleasant odors and tastes. However, they do not get to the cause of the problem, which is a bacterial infection. The bacteria in your mouth break down food and dead skin into proteins and amino acids.The breakdown of the amino acids Cystine and Methionine result in the release of sulfur compounds (that rotting egg smell and taste). The bacteria live under faulty fillings, between the teeth and gums, and under a coating on the tongue. This may be the beginning of a more serious problem called periodontal disease, which, if left untreated, can cause tooth loss.Luckily your dentist can fix these problems and, along with good daily oral hygiene, can restore the confidence and excitement of that first kiss.
