Why Does Bad Breath Happen?
We’ve all experienced it — that uncomfortable moment when you realize your breath isn’t as fresh as you’d like. Bad breath, also called halitosis, is more common than you think. The good news? In most cases, it’s preventable and treatable. At TM Dental Solutions, we help patients get to the root cause and restore confidence in their smile.
🚫 Common Causes of Bad Breath
- Poor Oral Hygiene
Food particles left between teeth create bacteria buildup, leading to odor. - Gum Disease
Infections in the gums can produce a persistent foul smell. - Dry Mouth
Saliva helps wash away bacteria. When your mouth is dry (due to dehydration, medications, or sleeping with your mouth open), odor builds up. - Food & Drinks
Garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol can temporarily cause bad breath. - Medical Conditions
Sometimes, bad breath is linked to issues like sinus infections, acid reflux, or even diabetes.
✅ How to Fix Bad Breath
- Brush & Floss Daily → Clean teeth and gums twice a day, and don’t forget your tongue.
- Stay Hydrated → Drink plenty of water to keep your mouth moist.
- Regular Dental Cleanings → Professional cleaning removes hidden plaque and tartar.
- Chew Sugar-Free Gum → Stimulates saliva and freshens your breath.
- Watch Your Diet → Limit odor-causing foods and drinks.
- Visit the Dentist → Persistent bad breath could mean gum disease or another dental issue that needs attention.
