Bad breath, or halitosis, can be due various factors such as poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, smoking, certain medical conditions, or consumption of strong-smelling foods.
To manage this issue, it's essential to maintain good oral hygiene practices, including regular brushing, flossing, and rinsing.
Additionally, scheduling regular dental check-ups, staying well-hydrated, and avoiding tobacco products can be beneficial.
If the problem persists, I recommend consulting your dentist or healthcare provider to identify and address any underlying conditions."
