If you or someone you love has halitosis, you know how difficult an issue it can be.  No matter how much chewing gum, mouthwash and other products you try, it may just not get rid of the bad breath.

The most common source of bad breath is a high level of bacteria in your mouth.  High levels of bacteria can be triggered by sinus or allergy problems, by medications that cause dry mouth, or by certain medical conditions such as diabetes.

Cinergy Health explains that, in general, bad breath can be managed with regular brushing and flossing and with regular dental cleanings.  Keep your tongue clean of bacteria, drink enough water and keep your mouth moist.  If your bad breath persists, see a dentist to check for tooth infections and for gum infections that may be causing the problem.
