What is Halitosis?

Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is more than just an inconvenience; it can affect your confidence and social interactions. At North Brooklyn Dental Care, we define halitosis as persistent, unpleasant breath and explore the various causes, from poor oral hygiene to underlying health issues. Understanding the root of the problem is the first step toward banishing bad breath for good, so here are some of the most prevalent causes of bad breath:

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to the buildup of plaque and bacteria, contributing to bad breath.
Bacterial Growth on the Tongue: The tongue provides a comfortable environment for bacteria to thrive. Without proper cleaning, this can be a significant source of bad breath.
Gum Disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis can result in persistent bad breath as bacteria attack the gums and supporting structures of the teeth.
Dry Mouth: Saliva plays a crucial role in cleansing the mouth. Reduced saliva production, often caused by certain medications or conditions, can lead to halitosis.
Medical Conditions: Underlying health issues such as respiratory infections, diabetes, and liver or kidney problems can manifest as bad breath.
Dentures and Oral Appliances: Improperly cleaned dentures or oral appliances can harbor bacteria, leading to unpleasant breath.

Tips to Maintain Your Fresh Smile

Fresh breath isn’t just a one-time goal – it’s a lifestyle. Practice daily brushing – making sure to pay attention to your tongue too! – and don’t neglect regular dental cleanings to prevent plaque buildup. Regular flossing will also kick out food particles that can get stuck and cause a foul odor. Finally, make water your frequent and preferred drink of choice. This helps cleanse your teeth and maintain saliva production to rinse out bacteria.
