The following are the most common reasons of foul breath:


Oral hygiene issues

Maintaining a good oral hygiene practice will keep your mouth and teeth clean and healthy. It is undeniable that poor oral health has a wide variety of negative consequences for our health, the most prevalent of which are tooth decay and foul breath. Food particles left in your mouth, as well as plaque buildup on your teeth and, particularly, your tongue, provide an ideal habitat for bacteria to flourish and cause a foul and unpleasant odor.

If you don't brush your teeth frequently and don't use mouthwash to rinse your mouth, you're not rinsing away these bacteria and debris, therefore you should wait until you have a serious toothache.

Gum disease is a condition that affects the gums

The most prevalent causes of poor breath are gum disorders such as periodontitis and gingivitis. Perhaps your terrible breath is a symptom that you have gum disease. Gum irritation, redness of the mouth, mouth ulcers, and lesions, as well as a variety of other oral-related problems such as halitosis and xerostomia (dry mouth), are all signs that you should treat your gums.


Diets and foods

There are some foods and diets that cause foul breath in the mouth throughout the day. The most common sources of foul breath are onions and garlic. Low-carbohydrate diets and fasting for prolonged periods of time are both well-known causes of bad breath.

Bad breath can be caused by eating too much fast foods, sauces, pizza, and sandwiches. So, before your foul breath disturbs you and others around you, consider making some dietary and nutritional modifications.

Tobacco and alcoholic beverages

Smoking and alcohol intake not only give most individuals terrible breath every time they use them, but they are also the leading causes of dry mouth. People who consume a lot of alcohol and smoke cigarettes are more likely to develop gingivitis and periodontal disease, which manifests itself as gum inflammation, oral lesions, and ulcers in or around their mouth.


Drugs and diseases

Ailments affecting several regions of the body, such as kidney illness, liver disease, diabetes, and infections affecting the respiratory system, such as sinusitis and bronchitis, as well as gastrointestinal diseases, can all result in foul breath.

Mouth is parched

Dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, is caused by a decrease in saliva production and changes in saliva composition. Halitosis can also be caused by a dry mouth. Bacteria will thrive in a dry environment due to the absence of saliva in the mouth.


Saliva not only moisturizes your mouth, but it also kills bacteria and aids in the breakdown of food particles. Morning bad breath is a common kind of bad breath caused by a lack of saliva and a dry mouth in the morning.
