VSC’s are really just fancy names for the waste products excreted by the bacteria. These waste products quickly turn into gases and produce the rotten-egg smell often associated with a bad breath problem. The three most common compounds causing bad breath include: Hydrogen Sulfide, Methyl Mercaptan and Dimethyl Sulfide. Essentially, you must limit the population of the bacteria in order to prevent bad breath. Unless the bad breath problem is being caused by gum disease, the majority of the bacteria will collect at the back of the tongue in plaque-that sticky white stuff that is hard to eliminate when brushing.
