Is bad breath making a negative impact on your self-confidence? 

Lots of small signals can show that you have bad breath. Have you noticed people politely look away or step away when you start to talk? 

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can affect anyone at any age. Some studies show that around one in four people suffer from bad breath on a regular basis.

You should first speak to your dentist. Bad breath is a symptom. It could be something as simple as a result of garlic in your food, or coffee and smoking, but your breath can also be an indication of the state of your overall health. Halitosis may be a sign of mild or developed gum disease, or it may indicate problems in other areas of your body.

A professional examination by your dentist could ascertain the underlying cause and help you find the right treatment for fresher breath and a healthier mouth.
