There are a variety of products out there claiming to stop bad breath, but many of these are just a temporary fix and not a cure.

Here\u2019s just a few:<\/p><h2>What you eat<\/h2><p>It&#8217;s easy for food particles to get stuck in your teeth allowing bacteria to grow and create funky smells. Certain foods with strong odors can also affect your breath after digestion.<\/p><h2>Tobacco products<\/h2><p>Using tobacco products like cigarettes and chewing tobacco can cause bad breath and put you at risk for other dental and oral complications.<\/p><h2>Dry mouth<\/h2><p>Dry mouth, or Xerostomia, decreases the production of saliva which cleanses your mouth of bacteria. This can lead to odor.<\/p><h2>Medication<\/h2><p>Certain medications list stinky breath as a side effect. Check the labels on all meds you take regularly.<\/p><h2>Other general health issues<\/h2><p>Infections, surgical wounds, tooth decay, gum disease, etc. can all cause bad breath. Conditions related to the mouth, nose, and throat, or certain cancers and illnesses can cause bad breath.<\/p><h2>It&#8217;s time to talk to an expert.<\/h2><p>Tired of feeling embarrassed by your bad breath?
