In a way: What causes gingivitis (poor oral hygiene and dental plaque) also can produce bad breath. There are many other causes of bad breath, both of dental and medical origin. See the following website and then a dentist and\or physician for guidance if necessary. http://smilesapartcosmeticdentist.com/fresh-breath-control.htm.

Yes: It's inflammed tissue caused by bacteria, and the beginnings of an infection.

Of course: In most cases, gingivitis, or gum disease, is caused by improper oral hygiene, thus your bad breath is caused by gingivitis. The good news is it can be completely cured. Call your dentist today!
