properly. Thorough brushing each day removes plaques (an invisible mass of soft
or yellow harmful layers of germs that live in the mouth and stick to the
surface of the teeth). As not brushing
in the right way may lead to ‘halitosis’ which is also known as bad breath and
it is a condition in which there is a foul smelling of oral cavity more
pronounced when the person is talking or breaths. Also, the other cause of halitosis
includes untreated decayed tooth, ulcer or wound in the mouth, herpes, and
