Little Known Bad Breath

Adenoids are little clumps of spongy tissue found near the back of your throat where your tonsils are. Their main purposes are to trap and drain the bacteria in the throat so that your mouth and other body systems are protected from these bacteria.

Bacteria that are left alone for some time will start releasing foul smelling gases and these gases will travel to your mouth as halitosis.
