Bad Breath Treatment

Bad breath is embarrassing as it is an indication of poor oral health. However, with proper dental care bad breath, also called halitosis, can be treated and eliminated. Maintaining good oral health is the key to reducing bad breath. Oral bacteria that builds up on the back of your tongue or in between your teeth is the main culprit behind bad breath. Bad breath can be caused by food impaction due to poor dental restorations, smoking, dry mouth, sinus conditions and most often; gum disease. Sometimes genetics can also play a role.
