Halitosis
Halitosis – or chronic bad breath – is something that mints, mouthwash or a good brushing can’t solve. Unlike morning breath or a strong odor that persisted after a meal, halitosis persists for a long time and may indicate something more serious. If quick bad breath fixes are only covering up the problem for a short time, something else may be happening in your body, including:
Dental Issues - Cavities and deeper pockets from gum disease give bad breath bacteria extra places to hide in your mouth that are difficult to clear out when you’re brushing
Mouth, Nose and Throat Infections - nose, sinus and throat issues that can lead to bad breath
Dry mouth: Saliva goes a long way for your dental health – and your breath. It rinses and removes unwanted leftovers in mouth
