Bad breath medically called ‘Halitosis’ can be present due to various reasons.
You can get rid of bad breath only if you know the reason behind it.
Bad breath maybe a consequence of one of the following conditions :

Brushing twice daily with a toothpaste and toothbrush is what keeps your mouth fresh. Lack of good oral hygiene leads to deposits of calculus and tartar. Calculus and tartar are one of the main causes of bad breath.

 

2. Bad oral habits
Brushing teeth not only keep tartar at bay but also prevent dental caries. Food gets easily stuck in dental cavities. This food degenerates and causes bad breath.

 

3. Tobacco habits
Smoking and chewing tobacco harms your oral tissues. They also leave a smoky bad taste and smell.

 

4. Drinking water
Drinking water washes out any food particles lodged in the mouth. Dry mouth is prone to bad breath

2. Brush twice daily using toothbrush and toothpaste.
3. Don’t forget to rinse your mouth with water after every meal.
4. Tongue is the place that harbors many bacteria. Keep the tongue clean.
5. Get those cavities treated on time.
6. Avoid smoking and chewing tobacco.
7. Drink lots of water to avoid dry mouth
