How can you alleviate bad breath symptoms?
One of the most common causes of bad breath or Halitosis is due to the existence of bacteria in our mouth. Even if you brush and floss daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, promoting bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums and on the tongue. Brushing teeth and using anti-bacterial mouthwash will eliminate some of the bacteria and mask the odour for a short time but for halitosis, a more thorough approach is required to get the balance of bacteria right.
Talk to us about how advanced probiotics can be used to promote and maintain fresh breath - not temporarily mask it.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
