BAD BREETH AND MOUTH ODOUR

Bad breath: Halitosis (medical term), oral malodour (scientific term), breath odour, or most commonly bad breath are terms used to describe noticeably unpleasant odours exhaled in breathing. Transient bad breath is a very common temporary condition caused by such things as oral dryness, stress, hunger (ketosis), eating certain foods such as garlic and onions, smoking, and poor oral care. Morning breath is a typical example of transient bad breath.
Do you have bad breath, also known as halitosis in the medical field? There are many products on the internet that can help cure your bad breath, and a plethora of information to help you diagnose the cause and find an effective treatment. While bad breath can be effectively treated, it cannot be completely cured.
Many people who have halitosis are not even aware of the problem. No one wants to be the person who tells someone they have bad breath. Bad breath is offensive to the people who have to smell it, and finding out about it is very embarrassing for the person with the problem. If you know someone with bad breath, only tell them about it if you believe you know them well enough that they would want you to be the person to tell them. Also, tell them in private when you feel the timing is right and they are in a pleasant mood.
People who first learn that they have bad breath may be worried and not know what to do, where to look, or who to talk to. As the friend, family member, business associate, or romance partner, you have to learn more about halitosis or mouth odour before telling someone they have it.
