Can bad breath really be cured?
( Back to FAQs ) There is no such thing as a one time cure-all for bad breath (or headaches, toothaches, acne, dandruff, diabetes, etc). Because the bacteria are always there (and are part of the natural flora of bacteria that you need to start off the digestive process), you cant kill them off permanently. However, they can be treated with oxygen and other natural compounds that prevent them from creating sulfur odours for about 12 hours or more, in some cases.
