Halitosis: Halitosis has many causes, both medical and dental. There are many mouthwashes that help control bacteria. It's just an aid. You can't rely on this alone and it certainly won't make up for not practicing good oral hygiene or for existing and untreated periodontal problems (gum disease). Rule out medical causes and consult with a periodontist who can personally examine and evaluate your situation.

See your dentist for Halimeter test, diagnosis and bad breath treatment that depends on its cause. Good luck.
