Bad breath is a common problem and its causes can be different. Potential remedies include water, green tea, and herbal rinses. Persistent bad breath, or halitosis, is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria produce gases that can cause an unpleasant odor. The odor occurs when bacteria break down the sugars and starches in the foods you eat. We’ll show you how to fix this.

Dry mouth is a condition that can cause bad breath as well as other oral health problems. Dry mouth occurs when the salivary glands inside the mouth do not produce enough saliva to rinse food particles from the mouth. This helps control the level of bacteria in the mouth. Drink 2.5 liters of water a day.

A 2013 laboratory study conducted by Trusted Source examined the effects of EGCG from tea on human gum tissue. The study found that EGCG stimulates gum cells to release an antimicrobial chemical. This chemical targets Porphyromonas gingivalis (P.gingivalis), which is a type of bacteria that contributes to gum disease and halitosis. Both green tea extract and EGCG reduced the growth of S. moorei cultures, although green tea extract showed the greatest effects. This suggests that other chemicals in green tea may also have antibacterial properties.
