  2. Halitosis, medicallycalled bad breath is the third most common reason that people seek dental care (after tooth decay and gum disease). It is a symptom in which a noticeably unpleasant odour is present on the exhaled breath.

  3. What is the cause for Bad Breath? Bad breath can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. In most cases of persistent badsmell comes from a build-up of germs (bacteria) within the mouth. There are many possible causes that include: certain foods you eat (garlic and onions, in particular), alcohol or cigarettes, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, diabetes, dry mouth, sinus or throat infections, lung infections, kidney/liver failure and gastrointestinal issues.

  4. How do I control bad breath? It is important to practice good oral hygiene, such as brushing and flossing your teeth at least twice a day. Proper brushing, including brushing the tongue, cheeks and the roof of the mouth, will remove bacteria and food particles. Flossing removes accumulated bacteria, plaque and food that may be trapped between teeth. To alleviate odours, clean your tongue with your toothbrush or a tongue scraper, a plastic tool that scrapes away bacteria that builds on the tongue.

  5. What is my dentist's role? Visit your dentist regularly, because check-ups will help detect any physical problems. Check- ups also help get rid of the plaque and bacteria that build up on your teeth. If you think that you suffer from bad breath, your dentist can help determine its source. If your dentist believes that the problem is caused from a systemic (internal) source, such as an infection, he or she may refer you to your family physician or a specialist to help remedy the cause of the problem.
