Bad breath – Halitosis

Dentistes Prisma » Bad breath – Halitosis

Causes of bad breath 

Bad breath (halitosis) means having an unpleasant and uncomfortable breath. A large percentage of halitosis cases are directly related to oral health. However, the source of the problem can also come from the sinuses, lungs or stomach.

Several causes are possible:
  • The proliferation of bacteria due to food build-up or poor oral hygiene
  • Gingivitis (inflammation of the gums)
  • An infection of the throat, such as tonsillitis
  • Cavities
  • A badly cleaned tongue

Do you suffer from a persistent bad breath despite regular brushing?
