[mage lang="" source="flickr"]Cause Of Bad Breath Bacteria[/mage]

Is Vocal damage and bad breath related?

Bad Breath can be caused from Bacteria build up and bacteria thrives on no oxygen.. I feel like (and pretty much know) I have a lump in my throat from imitating metal bands (Not anymore though). Is it possible/likely that the lump on my throat is causing a build up of bacteria causing me to have bad breath with a constant white coating and large taste buds on the back of my tongue? If so.. what should I do?! Because having bad breath is absolutely No FUN!!

tonsil stones

Science fair project name?

My project is testing whether the natural flavors (natural oils) of cinnamon in gum eliminates bacteria in your mouth that cause bad breath. I really need a catchy, not *too* corny name as an attention-grabber for the beholder that gets the idea across. Thanx! No spam please:]

This may be a bit corny:

Which is ok if your experiment works.

You could also de-science the extra info and hand out a little flyer. (hope that makes sense). Its hard because i dont know what level u are studying.

Bad breath often evokes a reaction characteristic of disgust among those who interact with bad breath sufferers. This is a natural defensive reaction designed to protect the body from potential sources of disease: The major chemical compounds of bad breath are the same as those emitted by rotting food (Putrescine), feces (Skatole), and even dead bodies (Cadaverine), all potential sources of disease and infection.

When the brain detects these compounds, it protects the body by forcing physical recoil (which moves the body away), scrunching up the nose (which constricts the nasal passages, and prevents further intake of noxious odors), and by causing gagging (which stops anything being swallowed). It may also produce nausea and vomiting, which ejects anything that has already been swallowed. Although these reactions are involuntary, they are often misinterpreted as a personal judgement on the sufferer, and can severely damage personal relationships
