The offensive odor from the mouth is unpleasant to those who come in close contact with bad breathers. The problem can lead to psychological trauma leading to depression. The sufferers from this problem will be isolated from their friends and society. And it can even lead to marital disharmony.
The main cause of bad smell is due to degradation of protein by the bacteria and hence all food products rich in protein favours bad breath. Meat, fish,milk products, eggs, cakes, nuts…etc can cause bad breath. Some food articles can produce particular type of smell which may be unpleasant. Raw onion can produce typical bad smell.
