Halitosis: Its very common, unfortunately not all of the cases of halitosis (bad breath), have a dental ethiology. If you suffer from any kind of gastric problems bad breath could be common, it is important to consult with a primary doctor to identify that possibility. Sometimes a bacterial culture could be made to recognize the type of bacteria.
