We understand how uncomfortable it can be to suffer from bad breath, and we are committed to putting your oral health first so that you can live your best life.
Causes of Halitosis Explained
Infections
Infections that cause post-nasal drip may be a cause of chronic bad breath because the bacteria feed on the mucus that is produced when you are sick.
Chronic Conditions
Diabetes and conditions like kidney, liver, or gastrointestinal issues can cause bad breath.
Dry Mouth
Saliva helps remove and break down food particles in your mouth, and if your body isn’t producing enough, it can cause cavities, infections, and halitosis.
Dental Infections
Cavities and gum disease can cause halitosis because of the extra bacteria in your mouth that is difficult to remove.
Tobacco
Smoking leaves odors in your mouth, but it can also cause dry mouth. Tobacco users are also more likely to develop gum disease.
