Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is an uncomfortable condition that can affect our social interactions and self-esteem.
Cavities, swollen or bleeding gums, deteriorated dental restorations and a tongue with plaque can contribute to bad breath.
Poor oral hygiene: The most common cause of halitosis is inadequate oral hygiene. Bacteria in the mouth feed on the food particles left behind, causing bad breath.
Dehydration can contribute to bad breath. Drink enough water to increase saliva production, which naturally rinses your mouth.
