  • What causes bad breath?

    Bad breath, or halitosis, can be caused by various factors, including poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, certain foods and beverages, tobacco use, and underlying medical conditions such as sinus infections or gastrointestinal issues. Additionally, bad breath can be a sign of more serious dental problems such as cavities, oral infections, or periodontal disease. Regular dental check-ups and good oral hygiene practices are essential for preventing and addressing the causes of bad breath.

  • Does smoking cause bad breath?

    Yes, smoking does cause bad breath. The chemicals in tobacco products can linger in the mouth, leading to a persistent odor. Smoking also reduces saliva production, which helps cleanse the mouth and wash away food particles and bacteria. This dry environment allows odor-causing bacteria to thrive, contributing to bad breath. Additionally, smoking can lead to gum disease and other oral health issues, which further exacerbate bad breath.
