We all experience bad breath from time to time—whether it’s after eating something strong or when we wake up in the morning. However, about 25% of people struggle with chronic bad breath, also known as halitosis. Brushing, flossing, drinking water, or chewing gum won’t permanently fix this type of bad breath.

Chronic bad breath can be caused by:

• Gum disease
• Cavities or infections
• Tobacco products
• Mouth breathing & dry mouth
• Dental appliances
