The Shocking Truth
90% of Bad Breath Comes from Your Tongue — Not Your Teeth
Odor-causing bacteria hide inside the tongue's coating (the rough papillae). Brushing teeth or chewing gum doesn't reach this layer, so sulfur compounds keep forming — the real source of persistent bad breath.
- Left: Tongue coating traps bacteria → odors form.
- Right: Clean tongue surface → fresher breath and confidence.
