What is Halitosis?
Chronic halitosis is a condition in which a person produces an offensive odor from their oral or nasal regions that they are unable to eliminate with normal oral hygiene techniques, such as
brushing, flossing and rinsing. The occasional "morning breath" most people experience is not true halitosis. Bad breath may be affected by many different factors including what you eat, dry
mouth, smoking and not brushing/flossing correctly. It can also be a sign of a medical disorder, such as a local infection in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic
bronchitis, diabetes or gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment.
Where does Halitosis come from?
Typically, the bad breath odor comes from activity of bacteria in the mouth, usually from the back part of the tongue. Simply put, microorganisms in the mouth break down proteins and produce
foul smelling gasses leaving the victim with 'bad breath'.
Five Main Types of Mouth Odors that contribute to Bad Breath.
1. Periodontal - odor from the crevicular fluid in the periodontal pockets (between teeth)
2. Nasal - odor from nasal cavity
3. Denture- odor emitted from removable dentures (false teeth)
4. Tongue - odor from posterior tongue dorsum (back part of tongue) (most common)
5. Smoker's Breath - odor emitted from habitual smoker
Help is Around the Corner!
Fortunately, you can cure the disease of halitosis by practicing some common oral hygiene procedures. Unfortunately, most people have common 'bad habits' for brushing, flossing and scraping.

Tips for Brushing, Flossing, and Scraping
Brushing your teeth is paramount for fighting bad breath! You should use a soft bristled tooth brush and brush at least twice a day. All surfaces of teeth (outer, inner, and top) need to be brushed
back and forth in short one-tooth strokes. Many halitosis sufferers will often not brush long enough.
Flossing should be done with fluoride floss that is about 15 inches long. Make sure you guide floss (back and forth) between teeth and not snap floss between your teeth. Make sure the floss
touches all edges of side teeth and gum line. Start a pattern so you do not miss any teeth, including the back of molars.
Scraping the tongue is often a forgotten oral hygiene practice. To scrape the tongue of the 'bad breath causing' bacteria, take regular tooth brush and dip the toothbrush into mouthwash. The
toothbrush now can be used to gently brush the back of tongue. You should repeat this step until the yellow/white film is brushed off of tongue.
You can also change your diet to fight halitosis.
