Bad breath: The bacteria that causes bad breath is on your teeth, gums and even your tongue. Brushing your tongue will help keep your breath fresher. You can use a tongue scraper or a toothbrush. It is also important to see a dentist and have your teeth cleaned. Decayed teeth and bacteria underneath your gums will also cause bad breath as well as other problems.
