How to figure out why i often have bad breath?

Dental exam: A periodontal exam combine with a check for decay will be very helpful. If this visit is completely healthy , a physician can evaluate nasal, sinus & throat areas for possible infections.

A dental exam: Most of bad breath originates in the oral cavity (mouth). You may have new cavities, cavities under old fillings and or crowns (caps), or periodontal (gum) disease, or a combination of both cavities and gum disease. I would recommend you visit a dentist and have a comprehensive oral exam. Also, bad breath may be originated from the sinuses, throat and gut.
