There are a number of possible causes a person may suffer from chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis, but the main reason boils down to oral hygiene. If you don’t brush your teeth at least twice a day for two minutes, or floss at least once a day to remove food particles from the teeth, you risk developing pungent bad breath that mints or mouthwash can’t mask. To get bad breath under control, visit Dr. David Bishop at Bishop & Bishop Dental for an oral exam and professional cleaning.
Anyone can suffer from bad breath. In fact, bad breath is a common problem that affects 1 in 4 people on a regular basis. Potential causes for bad breath may include tobacco if you are a smoker, food, dry mouth, and periodontal disease. Though these factors play a large role in the odor of the mouth, the most common reason is a lack of oral hygiene. Bad breath treatment will likely depend on the cause and the severity of the condition.
