Bad breath is an extremely common problem and almost everyone has it at some time. Even some Hollywood stars are known to suffer from it!
Bad breath can cause embarrassment, create social and psychological barriers and even affect relationships. In recent years, there has been a growing awareness that bad breath is a problem that the dental profession should recognise and treat.
Remedies for bad breath have been around for thousands of years and are even recorded in ancient Greek and Roman literature. Some of the old folk remedies to freshen breath are still in use today including the use of parsley, cloves and guava peels. |
