What causes bad breath?
Poor dental hygiene practices are the most common cause of bad breath. The bacteria that break down remaining food particles can produce unpleasant odors. Dry mouth, underlying health conditions, and certain foods can also cause bad breath. Regular check-ups and maintaining good oral hygiene are essential in preventing halitosis.

What is the best chewing gum for bad breath?
Sugar-free chewing gum can be a quick fix to freshen your breath, especially after meals. Look for gums that dental associations have approved, which effectively promote oral health. Make sure you use the sugar-free variety to avoid tooth decay. Gum should be used in addition to brushing and flossing rather than as a replacement.
-
Does smoking cause bad breath?
Yes, the chemicals in cigarettes remain in the mouth, causing halitosis. Additionally, the bacteria from the chemicals can dry out your mouth, leaving a lingering smell. Smoking also increases your risk of gum disease, another source of bad breath. Many smokers don’t even realize the extent of the issue since smoking causes a deterioration in the senses, including smell. Quitting smoking can significantly improve oral hygiene and overall health.
