There is a lot of talk amongst laymen with regards to chronic bad breath – where it originates from and how to cure it. Some have suggested that chronic bad breath emanates from the throat. The truth is for the overwhelming majority of people chronic bad breath comes from the tongue, this is because the tongue has millions of wedges on it, as the surface is a lot like a brush, and bacteria can sit and reproduce on the tongue. They tend to release smelly substances in the process too.
it’s not that bacteria is necessarily bad or anything, bacteria does several important bodily function, one of which is to digest food by breaking it down. But excess build up of bacteria can cause side effects, some more dangerous than others.
One way to get rid of chronic bad breath is to use a tongue scraper and remove the extra debris and bacteria. Scraping your tongue once a day should do the trick.
