Chain Reactions Of Food To A Healthy Mouth
Chain reactions of food to a healthy mouth. Whenever we put food or drink or even fresh breath products, such as mints into our mouths, we set off a chain reaction of digestion and excretion with the microbes that live in our mouths. These bacteria must feed in order to stay alive, and there are certain substances that they enjoy feeding on more so than others. Sugar, alcohol, and protein are three of the more enjoyable items for them. Once these microorganisms have digested the substances, they produce waste products, usually in the form of sulfur compounds, that cause the halitosis bad breath problem that we find so annoying and, often, offensive.
