why does my
breath
smell so bad?
Everyone gets bad breath once in a while — for example, after eating an especially strong-tasting food or when waking up in the morning. But 25% of people suffer from chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis. Brushing and flossing your teeth, drinking water, or chewing gum cannot permanently solve this type of bad breath.
Chronic bad breath can be caused by:
mask mouth?
yes, it’s real!
Have you been noticing your breath a lot more lately? Dry mouth and bad breath is a common side effect of wearing a mask for an extended period of time. Be diligent about drinking lots of water, brushing and flossing your teeth, and regularly replacing or cleaning your mask.
And be sure to keep up on your routine dental cleanings!
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.
