Eliminate bad breath: Its presence in the mouth may indicate the presence of responsible bacteria

It inspires confidence, leaves a good impression, and accompanies us every day without even thinking about it… until the day something goes wrong. A mushy tongue, an unpleasant sensation, or a slightly embarrassing remark? But what if the cause is more common—and, above all, simpler—than we think? Let’s take a closer look at an often taboo but easily solved problem: bad breath related to certain oral bacteria.
When our mouths send warning signals

Bad breath isn’t just a matter of forgetting to brush your teeth. Sometimes our mouths are trying to tell us something’s wrong. The most common symptoms include:

White or yellowish tongue:

This buildup is often home to many of the bacteria responsible for bad breath. And no, it doesn’t just come from your morning coffee!

Red, tender, or bleeding gums:

These symptoms can signal inflammation, even the beginning of gingivitis. And bacteria take advantage of this.
