Halitosis

Halitosis, also known as bad breath, is a persistent unpleasant odor that comes from the mouth. It can be caused by a number of factors, including:

Poor oral hygiene: The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. When plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, builds up on the teeth, it can release foul-smelling compounds. Dry mouth: Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, can cause bad breath because saliva helps to wash away food particles and bacteria. Diet: Certain foods, such as onions, garlic, and coffee, can cause bad breath. Medical conditions: Some medical conditions, such as diabetes, kidney disease, and liver disease, can cause bad breath. Sinus infections: Sinus infections can sometimes cause bad breath. Tobacco use: Tobacco use can cause bad breath.
