Bad Breath

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is caused by bacteria in the mouth that break down food and emit odors. Poor dental hygiene habits, dry mouth, smoking and some medications are common culprits of bad breath. Foods like garlic and onions can cause a temporary unpleasant smell in the mouth. Bad breath can also be an indication of a more serious health issue such as gum disease or gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD). Regular brushing and flossing, drinking plenty of water and avoiding certain foods can help reduce bad breath.
