Bad breath (halitosis) is a common condition with causes ranging from food (garlic, onions) and poor oral hygiene (not brushing, flossing, cleaning tongue) to dry mouth, smoking, it can sometimes lead to underlying issues like tonsillitis, acid reflux, or other medical conditions, with symptoms being an unpleasant smell that varies in intensity and type (sour, fishy, sweet). Treatment involves excellent oral care (brushing, flossing, tongue cleaning), staying hydrated, avoiding to***co, and seeing a dentist and hygienist for persistent cases, as it can signal serious dental or health problems.
