Common Causes of Bad Breath

1. Plaque and Bacteria
   Food debris stuck between teeth releases foul-smelling gases when bacteria break it down.

2. Gum Disease
   Infection in gums can lead to a strong bad odor.

3. Dry Mouth
   Lack of saliva allows bacteria to multiply rapidly.

4. Cavities and Infected Teeth
   Rotten food trapped in decayed areas creates bad smell.

5. Coated Tongue
   Bacteria trapped on tongue surface cause bad breath.

6. Smoking and Tobacco
   These dry the mouth and leave a long-lasting unpleasant smell.

7. Poorly Fitted Dentures
   Food particles may get trapped under dentures.

Medical conditions like sinus infection, diabetes, or gastric issues can also contribute.
