What Causes Bad Breath?

In Dental
   

    


While bad breath or "Halitosis" might be a symptom of some other disorder, it most often stems from dental decay, gingivitis or periodontitis. Periodontitis is a disease affecting the gums and bone that support the teeth. The irritated gums pull away from the teeth forming pockets in which bacteria and pus form and emit a foul odor. Bad breath is more than an embarrassment - it can be a warning of a more serious problem.
