You may need breath refresheners or mouth washes on a daily basis. There could be something especially aromatic in the food you have just eaten, such as garlic, onions and other heavy spices. Although it is rare for friends and families to tell you frankly about your bad breath or halitosis problems, you may eventually discover the sad truth yourself one day. Mouth refresheners that are available on the shelves of pharmacies and stores are unable to treat halitosis at all. These non prescriptions products cannot be considered bad breath treatments at all. They may provide temporary relief but this is not good enough if the bad breath problem is chronic and recurring because of other problems aside from occasionally eating the wrong types of breath unfriendly foods.

A qualified dentist can give your halitosis problems a thorough examination to determine its exact cause, in order to prescribe a specific course of bad breath medication to deal with your breath illnesses. Most of the time around 80% of the mouth smell problems are due to your tongue and gums in your mouth. A dentist can remove the accumulated plaque and tartar on your teeth and under the gums in order to deal with periodontitis, the number one cause of in mouth bad breath. This is a gum disease that cannot be dealt with using mouth refreshers or teeth brushing. Luckily, bad breaths will usually go away once the periodontitis problems are remedied. However, it can easily relapse when patients do not take good care of their teeth and continue with poor oral hygiene habits. To keep such embarrassing problems out of your life forever, it is better to arrange regular appointments with your dentist.

Sometimes your dentist is unable to cure all causes of halitosis. If the bad breath problem is persistent, the cause is usually due to other problems of the body, thus halitosis may be an indication of other serious medical conditions. The patient will be referred to a physician who will test for ketone levels. Ketones are generally smelly chemicals which are excreted from the body through urine, perspiration, and saliva - that is why it can cause the breath to be smelly as well. When a person suffers from diabetes, consumes insufficient carbohydrates or is fasting, ketones build up rapidly in the blood and must be excreted from the body to prevent harmful damages. This ketosis condition can be life threatening, so do not joke around and delay treatment.

A simple home remedy you can try is to regularly drink some plain or distilled water such that your mouth does not remain dry and plague and any bacteria on your mouth can be regularly washed off. Chewing gum has the same effects because it increases the production of saliva to wash your tongue and gums. A dry mouth can concentrate a lot of malodorous substances in your mouth - just think of your breath in the morning when you wake up, that is the time when your mouth is inactive and the driest moment of the day. Improper brushing and flossing of your teeth is also a possible cause of bad breath because the malodorous coating on the tongue and tiny pieces of food stuck between your teeth, will lead to growth of bad breath halitosis causing plague and bacteria in your mouth.
