Hello Anon

Is this mouth odor a common occurrence with you?

There are many causes for halitosis (bad breath):

1) “Poor oral hygiene - cavities, gum disease, excessive bacterial growth.”

2) “Lifestyle choices - smoking or eating certain foods.”

3) “Debris stuck in the tonsillar and adenoid tissues (most common in kids).”

4) “Medical conditions - sinusitis, pneumonia, bronchitis and other issues related to the nose, dehydration, diabetic ketoacidosis, “Dry Mouth,” known as xerostomia, and organ disease.”

5) “Use of certain medications.”

Here are five suggestions for targeting the cause of halitosis:

1) Brush and floss your teeth three times a day.

2) Drink enough water to stay hydrated (your urine should be light yellow, and you should have to urinate at least four times a day).

3) Use a nasal irrigation system.

4) Do mouth rinses with hypertonic saline washes.

5) Avoid bad habits like smoking.

If none of this works, see your doctor.
Best,
Susan
