CAUSING HALITOSIS:
Halitosis is mainly caused by the death of epithelial cells, blood cell debris, dental plaque, proteins in saliva and blood, and stinky sulfur-containing amino acids present in the creamy white to yellow-brown tongue coating.

Volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs) are produced through the decay of sulfur-containing amino acids and  gram-negative anaerobic microorganisms, associated with periodontal diseases.

Periodontal diseases such as periodontitis and gingivitis are common, with a worldwide prevalence ranging from 20 to 50%.  Patients with periodontal diseases often complain about bad breath.
