Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, affects millions of people. While mints mask the problem, they don’t solve it.
Common Causes
- Gum Disease: Bacteria trapped in pockets around teeth produce foul odors.
- Dry Mouth: Saliva washes away bacteria; without it, they thrive.
- Tongue Bacteria: The back of the tongue is a major breeding ground.
A professional cleaning and exam can identify the root cause and help you breathe easy again.
