Struggling With Bad Breath? Let’s Help You Feel Fresh Again.

Common Causes of Bad Breath

Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing and flossing regularly allows food particles, bacteria, and plaque to build up, leading to foul-smelling breath.
Dry mouth (Xerostomia): Saliva helps cleanse the mouth. When it’s reduced (e.g., from mouth breathing, medications, or dehydration), odor-causing bacteria grow more easily.
Foods and drinks: Garlic, onions, coffee, and certain spices can cause strong odors that linger.
Tobacco use: Smoking or chewing tobacco causes bad breath and contributes to gum disease.
Gum disease (Periodontal disease): Bacterial infections in the gums can produce persistent bad breath.
Medical conditions: Some medical conditions and some medication.

How to Prevent or Manage Bad Breath:

What Happens If We Don’t Treat It?

Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath—an unpleasant odor coming from the mouth. It’s a common condition that can be temporary or chronic, depending on the cause.

Chronic bad breath is a serious issue. Not only is chronic bad breath unpleasant in interpersonal contacts but it can also be a symptom of a serious oral care issue or dental decay and infection.
