Question: Can you please address the issue of what causes bad breath and its cures and treatments?
Dr. Hibberd's Answer:
Halitosis (bad breath) has multiple causes. Local poor oral hygiene, periodontal (gum) and dental disease, foods, toxins, alcohol, cigarettes, medications, infections of oral cavity, sinus and airways, acid reflux, uncontrolled diabetic and other hormonal disorders, starvation and malignancy will all cause halitosis.
Skipped meals and poor oral hygiene, especially gingivitis, are the most common reasons for halitosis.
