Bad breath (also known as halitosis) comes from certain foods, lack of oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, tobacco, or medical problems.
A few simple steps can make your breath fresh again:
- Brush your teeth and the top of your tongue twice a day
- Floss once a day
- Don't use tobacco
- Go to the dentist twice a year for a professional cleaning
If you do all these things but still have bad breath, talk with your dentist or doctor. They will work with you to find out what is wrong.
