Abstract in brief

  • Halitosis, or bad breath, affects up to 30% of people and mainly originates from the mouth, caused by factors like poor plaque control, gum disease, dry mouth, and bacterial growth.
  • The main cause of oral malodor is bacteria that break down amino acids into smelly gases called volatile sulfur compounds (VSCs), which are responsible for the bad smell.
  • Essential oils have long been used in traditional medicine for their antimicrobial properties and may help reduce bacteria that produce VSCs and mask bad odors in the mouth.

@NStumphauzer If I didn't have sensitive teeth I probably wouldn't use paste. I'd buy ur mouthwash! Most mouthwashes have awful chemicals. Essential oils are great and you picked good ones. You can see MIC values here https://t.co/AndF4ul7Q0
