Breathtakingly Fresh

Breathtakingly Fresh

Bad breath, or halitosis is a strong noticeable odor emanating from the mouth. There are primarily two types of foul breath. One that occurs when the bacteria grow on food particles that are left behind in your mouth, under your tongue and in between your teeth. These bacteria release sulfur compounds that make your breath foul smelling. The other type is when you have eaten foods that give off pungent oils and odors such as garlic, onion and cabbage.

Alzheimer's Disease Treatment

Dementia occurs in people with Alzheimer's disease because healthy brain tissue degenerates, causing a steady decline in memory and mental abilities.
