What causes bad breath?
It is common to feel bad odor coming out of your mouth when you wake up in the morning or after long hours of hunger and thirst. However, it goes away as soon as your brush or rinse your oral cavity with a mouthwash. The problem is when the “bad breath” lingers in your mouth even after you have rinsed your mouth.
Bad breath or halitosis is not only problematic for your oral cavity but it can negatively affect your mental and social well-being as well. People often resort to using chewing gums or peppermint mouth sprays to freshen their breath. However, nothing helps much if the cause is not removed.
