Bad breath, also called halitosis (hal-lih-TOH-suhss) can be
caused by several things, including:
•Poor oral hygiene
•Some foods
•Dentures
•Gum disease
•Dry mouth
•Tobacco use
•Respiratory, digestive, or other
health problems
•Some medicines
Practicing good oral hygiene and avoiding tobacco and some
foods often helps people with bad-smelling breath. You may want to try using a
tongue scraper to clean food from your tongue. You could also just brush your
tongue with your toothbrush. But if doing so doesn't seem to help or if you
always need mouthwash to hide bad breath, talk to your dentist.
