Do I Have A Consistent Bad Breath? (Halitosis)

Halitosis, or bad breath, is a condition where your breath has an unpleasant smell that doesn’t go away easily. It can happen because of poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, gum problems, or health issues like diabetes, kidney or liver disease, and even some types of cancer. Eating foods like garlic and onions, using tobacco, mouth infections, or conditions like heartburn can also cause bad breath. If not treated, bad breath can lead to problems like low confidence, social embarrassment, anxiety, and even depression. A dentist can help diagnose it by checking for the root cause. Taking this assessment can help you figure out if you have ongoing bad breath and what might be causing it. By addressing it early, you can improve your oral health, feel more confident, and avoid future complications. Take the first step—try the assessment today!
