Why Does My Breath Smell Bad?

Everyone experiences bad breath occasionally, such as after eating strong-smelling foods or in the morning. However, 25% of people suffer from chronic bad breath (halitosis), which isn’t easily fixed by brushing, flossing, drinking water, or chewing gum.

Mask Mouth? Yes, It’s Real!

Have you noticed your breath more often lately? Wearing a mask for long periods can lead to dry mouth and bad breath. Stay hydrated, brush and floss regularly, and clean or replace your mask frequently.

And don’t forget to keep up with your routine dental cleanings!

bad breath isn’t always a dental concern

Bad breath may be indicative of a medical issue, such as a sinus infection, acid reflux, or a liver or kidney disorder. If that’s the case, it’s important to get in touch with your physician.
