Origin: Bad breath can be caused from gum disease, tonsillitis stones, acid reflux, tooth decay. Rule them out by a check up and a good cleaning at your dentist.

Halitosis : The most common cause of bad breath is from the bacteria and debris that build up in your mouth. These bacteria produce sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Make sure that you are brushing, flossing and cleaning your tongue frequently. See your dentist and have your teeth cleaned. If this doesn't help look for other causes, allergies, sinus, acid reflux, metabolic diseases.
