What Causes Bad Breath and How Can You Prevent It?



Understanding Halitosis

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a common issue that affects many people. While occasional bad breath is normal, persistent odour may indicate an underlying dental concern. At Marinaside Dental, we help patients identify the causes and solutions for fresher breath.

Common Causes of Bad Breath

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Dry mouth
  • Gum disease
  • Food particles trapped between teeth
  • Certain foods and beverages

How to Prevent Bad Breath

  • Brush and floss consistently
  • Clean your tongue daily
  • Stay hydrated throughout the day
  • Visit your dentist regularly for professional cleanings

When to See a Dentist

If bad breath persists despite good hygiene, it may be linked to gum disease or another oral health issue. Our team can identify the cause and recommend effective treatment options.
