Bad breath or halitosis usually stems from one of two things - the foods we eat and/or the bacteria living in our mouths. Bad breath odor that comes from foods we eat only stays with us until our body completely gets rid of the food, and therefore is not chronic bad breath. Chronic bad breath is different than the bad breath that nearly everyone has experienced after eating certain foods. One of the warning signs of periodontal disease is chronic bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth. Although it’s more difficult to cure, treatment is often very effective for people who have chronic bad breath.
