Bad breath can affect your social interactions, self-esteem, and overall quality of life. While occasional bad breath is normal, persistent halitosis may indicate an underlying oral health issue or a medical condition.
What Causes Bad Breath?
Most cases of halitosis originate in the mouth. Common culprits include:
- Bacteria: Bacteria on the tongue, teeth, and gums produce sulfur compounds, leading to unpleasant odors.
- Gum Disease: Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) is a common cause of chronic bad breath.
- Dry Mouth: Saliva helps cleanse the mouth, so reduced saliva flow can worsen bad breath.
- Food and Drink: Certain foods and drinks, like garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol, can contribute to bad breath.
- Tobacco Use: Smoking and other tobacco products can cause bad breath and increase the risk of gum disease.
