Bad Breath (Halitosis)

There are many possible causes for a person to have bad breath. Some of these include dry mouth, tobacco use, and food particles left from infrequent brushing and flossing. Certain foods are absorbed into the bloodstream and released in the lungs. Bad breath may be a sign of certain medical disorder. 

Mouthwashes are generally cosmetic and do not have a long lasting effect so maintaining good oral health is essential to reducing bad breath. Brush twice a day with fluoride toothpaste to remove food debris and plaque. Brush your tongue, too. Once a day, use floss or an interdental cleaner to clean between teeth.
