Bad breath is a problem that has been with us for thousands of years, crossing all barriers of culture, race and gender. Writings on Bad Breath date back to Greek and Roman times. Ancient Jewish  teachings, dating back almost two millennia, state that Bad Breath can be considered grounds for divorce without fulfillment of the marriage contract terms.  Bad Breath has also been a topic of conversation in Islamic theology.  Contrary to some folk beliefs, bad breath usually originates in the mouth itself and is generally amenable to treatment.
