Most bad breath starts in the mouth and is very treatable once the cause is found.
Common causes
- Bacteria on the back of the tongue
- Dry mouth from medications or mouth breathing
- Gum disease or a hidden cavity
- Food trapped around crowns or bridges
- Sinus issues, acid reflux or crash diets
What helps
Brush your tongue or use a tongue scraper, clean between teeth, drink water, and keep regular cleanings.
