Helping You Breathe Easy with Confidence

What Causes Bad Breath?

Bad breath (also known as halitosis) can be caused by many things. Common reasons include:
  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Gum disease
  • Dry mouth
  • Bacteria buildup on the tongue
  • Certain foods or habits (like smoking)
  • Dental infections or cavities
Sometimes, the issue goes deeper, and underlying health problems may play a role. That’s why a proper dental checkup is important.

When Should You See a Dentist for Bad Breath?

If brushing, flossing, and mouthwash don’t help, it may be time to visit a dentist. You should also see us if:
  • Bad breath doesn’t go away
  • You have a bad taste in your mouth
  • Your gums bleed when brushing
  • You have dry mouth often.
These can be signs of gum disease or other oral issues that need professional care.
