If you don't brush and floss teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, promoting bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums, and on the tongue. This causes bad breath.
Antibacterial mouth rinses also can help reduce bacteria.
Next Steps
See your dentist regularly -? at least twice a year.
He or she will conduct an oral exam and professional teeth cleaning and will be able to detect and treat periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other problems that may be the cause of bad mouth odor.
Health Tips
Practice good oral hygiene. Brush twice a day with fluoride tooth paste to remove food debris and plaque.
