What is Bad Breath?
Bad breath, or halitosis, is the unpleasant odour you smell when you exhale. In most cases, it originates in the mouth, due to the activity of bacteria that break down food debris and release Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSCs).
Although it can sometimes be related to digestive problems or systemic diseases, the most frequent cause is oral.
Why Does It Appear Suddenly?
Bad breath can appear suddenly for several reasons:
- Dry mouth or dehydration, which reduces saliva production, the mouth’s natural cleanser
- Consumption of foods with strong odours such as garlic, onions, coffee, or strong spices
- Stress and anxiety, which can affect saliva production
- Insufficient oral hygiene, leaving food debris and plaque
- Medications that cause dry mouth
These factors create a perfect environment for bacteria to release VSCs, quickly causing bad breath.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Does bad breath always come from the mouth?
Not always, but in 90% of cases, its origin is in the oral cavity, mainly due to bacteria and food debris.
What are Volatile Sulphur Compounds (VSCs)?
They are gaseous sulphur molecules released by bacteria when they break down proteins and food debris, and are responsible for bad breath.
Do natural products work fast?
Yes. Products formulated with essential oils and Extra Virgin Olive Oil can work in minutes, neutralizing VSCs and leaving you with fresh breath.
