Excessive development of oral bacteria, particularly on the tongue, teeth, and gums, is a common source of mouth smells. Oral bacteria react to nutrients differently, and those on your tongue can turn proteins into foul-smelling sulphur fumes. The more germs on your tongue, the more gases are generated, and the stink becomes stronger. To make matters worse, diseased gums and decaying teeth exacerbate the stink. Other factors that contribute to bad breath include:

• Food items: certain such as garlic, onions, and other pungent foods, can induce mouth smells because they contain volatile oils that are inhaled. This odour is only transitory and goes away within a few hours.
• Medical conditions: Halitosis can be caused by a variety of medical problems. Those suffering from sinus infections or nasal discharge, for example, may detect a bad odour. Diabetics frequently complain of weird tasting breath, which is mainly caused by blood sugar changes. Unusual breath scents can also be caused by metabolic abnormalities, renal illnesses, or malignancies. It’s critical to consult your doctor as soon as possible if these symptoms persist.
