Cavities and deeper pockets from gum disease give bad breath. Periodontitis is a disease that we can prevent by going every six months to the dentist or hygienist . If the problem of bloody gums persist you might need a deep cleaning. We need to numb your gums and clean inside the gum to the roots to clean the plaque or the tartare that has been accumulated. 

 Tobacco products wreak havoc on your body and your breath. Not only do many tobacco products leave their own odor on your breath; they can also dry out your mouth. Smokers are also more likely to develop gum disease, which can also add to halitosis. 

Saliva goes a long way for your dental health – and your breath. It rinses and removes unwanted leftovers from your mouth, helps break down food when you eat and provides disease-fighting substances to help prevent cavities and infections. If you don’t make enough saliva, one sign may be halitosis. Dry mouth can be caused by medications, certain medical conditions, alcohol use, tobacco use or excessive caffeine

 While halitosis is most often linked to something happening in your mouth, it may also be a sign of gastric reflux, diabetes, liver or kidney disease.
