What causes bad breath?
Bad breath, or halitosis, can be caused by various factors. Poor dental hygiene is a common culprit, as it allows food particles to decay in the mouth, producing foul odors. Other causes include infections in the mouth, chronic conditions such as sinusitis or gastrointestinal issues, smoking, and certain foods. At Boggs Dentistry, we evaluate your specific situation to identify the underlying cause of bad breath and tailor our treatment accordingly.
