Bad Breath (Halitosis) is persistent bad breath, often due to poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or certain foods. Bacteria breaking down food particles release foul-smelling compounds. Smoking, sinus infections, and acid reflux can contribute. Treatment includes brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and staying hydrated. If halitosis persists despite good oral care, a dentist or doctor may check for underlying conditions.
