Bad breath (known as halitosis) can occur as a result of poor dental hygiene or a sign of underlying health issues in some cases.
Bad breath
in simple cases can be as a result of eating strong smelling foods,
smoking or dry mouth although sometimes gum diseases and oral thrush can
also give the mouth a foul smell! Bad breath is usually as a result of
bacteria build up at the back of the tongue or between the teeth.<

Bad
breath/halitosis is a common problem found in a lot of people and can
get worse over time if not attended to! These simple habits if adopted
will help keep bad breath away:
- Stimulating saliva production by chewing minty gums
- Flossing and brushing in the morning and at night to get rid of trapped food particles
- Cleaning the tongue after brush (when you brush, do same with the tongue)
- Rinse mouth after eating especially spicy foods
- Occasionally eat mint or parsley leaves
- Eat fruits high in Vitamin C, apples especially help to keep the breath fresh
- Drink water often
