Question

【题目】阅读理解

Bad breath, or halitosis(口臭)， can be a serious problem.
Bad breath is caused by some germs(细菌) that grow in the month. When you don't brush in a right way, germs will leave between your teeth and make your breath smell bad. Certain foods, especially ones like garlic and onions can cause bad breath. Smoking can also make bad breath.
Some people say that mouthwash(漱口水) will make bad breath go away, but it isn't true. It only stops bad breath for a short time.
Some people also say that if you brush your teeth, you will not have bad breath. But the truth is that most people only brush their teeth for 30 to 45 seconds. It just doesn't work. To clean all your teeth, you should brush for at least 2 minutes and at least twice a day. Remember to b rush your tongue, too—germs love to stay there.
If you do brush properly, but your bad breath still exists, visit your dentist for cleanings. You may have a medical problem like germ disease.
If you don't want to have bad breath, make sure you're taking care of your teeth and month well.
