Many people suffer from bad breath for a variety

avoid social gatherings or being in close
proximity to other people.

Food and Beverages When we eat, the food starts
being broken down through chewing and the saliva
in our mouths.

Food particles can remain in between the teeth
and along the gum line, where bacteria will start
to develop. This bacteria smells and will cause
our breath to smell, too.

In addition, consuming certain types of foods,
like onions or garlic, can cause bad breath
because they already have strong odors.

With beverages, they can cause the mouth to dry
out, leading to bad breath. For instance, if you
drink large amounts of caffeinated beverages, you
may notice your mouth feels dry all of the time.
This is because caffeine is a diuretic and
actually flushes water out of the body.

Tobacco Products Smoking and chewing tobacco not
only can cause bad breath, but also lead to other
dental problems,

such as irritated gums and stained teeth. The
best solution is to work on trying to quit
smoking or using chewing tobacco.

Poor Brushing and Flossing Habits We already
hinted how not brushing your teeth can leave food
particles trapped in between and cause bad
breath.

The problem can become more problematic if you
only brush once a day and never floss. Ideally,
you want to brush twice a day and floss once a
day before going to bed in the evening. The
second brushing and flossing help remove the
trapped food particles.

Poor Denture/Dental Appliance Cleaning You need
to clean your dentures or removable dental
appliances daily to remove trapped food particles
and bacteria.

For permanently installed dental appliances, like
dental implants, you should brush twice a day and
floss once a day, just like they were your real
teeth.

Gum Disease Chronic bad breath that never seems
to go away or dissipate could be the result of
gum disease.

Gum disease in an infection of the gum tissue,
which causes it to become irritated, bleed
easily, and eventually lead to receding gums. The
bacteria found in dental plaque along the gum
line can release toxins and infect the gum
tissue.

Tooth Decay/Cavities As a tooth decays and
cavities start to form, this process can result
in bad breath.

If you notice your bad breath problem recently,
and have minor to severe pain in one or more of
your teeth, you could have a cavity.

Once the cause for your bad breath is identified
through a detailed oral examination, your dentist
can recommend appropriate treatment options to
help reduce and possibly stop bad breath.
