Halitosis (Bad Breath) is ongoing bad breath, usually caused by poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, or specific foods. Bacteria in the mouth break down food particles, producing unpleasant odors. Smoking, sinus infections, and acid reflux can also play a role. Treatment involves brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning, and staying hydrated. If bad breath continues despite proper oral care, a dental or medical evaluation may be needed.
