Bad breath is: not a easy topic to discuss but your dentist has seen it many times and wants to help. You may also need to consult w/a nutritionist. Diet and metabolism may be part of the situation. Peace and good health.

There are many causes for bad breath, mostly dental but some medical. Your Dentest can help you determine the cause(s) and quickly and efficiently resolve this issue.

See DDS ASAP: In the majority of cases, the cause of bad breath or halitosis, is the product of bacteria in the mouth and gum disease. Bad breath can be very embarrassing, but it is a common condition and there are numerous ways to treat it. See your dentist for Halimeter test, diagnosis and bad breath treatment that depends on its cause. Good luck.
