Halitosis is the technical term for bad breath. It is often caused by decaying particles of food that remain in our mouth, collecting around teeth and gums. If we don't brush and floss regularly, this can be a problem. Halitosis that is caused by decaying food and bacteria can usually be controlled by brushing and flossing twice daily, and seeing a dentist regularly. Brushing your tongue can also help control bad breath.
