Dear practo user
Bad breath or halitosis can have intra and extraoral causes. Basically dentists check for intraoral reasons and remove the causative factors, if any. If intraoral causes are not found, we must check for extraoral causes like spicy food intake, gastrointestinal disorders like acidity,
diabetes, habits, lung disorders etc. To diagnose correctly, first consult a dentist, and if no intraoral reasons are found, you need to consult a general physician
Next Steps
1. consult your dentist at the earliest
2. if not diagnosed, consult a general physician
Health Tips
reduce spicy foods, avoid smoking and other oral habits, use mouthwashes and dental floss regularly
get extraoral causes checked once
