If you’ve ever felt the need to step back during a conversation or second-guess a close interaction, August 6—National Fresh Breath Day—offers the perfect opportunity for a breath breakthrough. Persistent bad breath isn’t just frustrating; it’s often a signal from your body that something deeper may be going on.
What’s Really Causing the Smell?
Bad breath, or halitosis, is most often caused by bacteria that collect in hard-to-clean areas of the mouth. These bacteria feed on leftover food particles and release unpleasant-smelling sulfur compounds.
Contributing factors include dry mouth, gum infections, poor oral hygiene, high-protein diets, and certain medications. If bad breath sticks around despite brushing and rinsing, it’s time for professional insight.
How a Dental Visit Can Help
A comprehensive dental exam can uncover what’s driving the odor. Whether it’s plaque buildup, early signs of gum disease, or something as simple as dry mouth, your dentist can create a customized plan to restore freshness.
Treatment may include a deep cleaning, product recommendations, or strategies to improve moisture and hygiene.
