What is Halitosis?

Chronic bad breath that doesn't go away with regular brushing and flossing.
Halitosis is persistent bad breath caused by bacteria in the mouth, gum disease, dry mouth, certain foods, or underlying health conditions. While temporary bad breath is common, chronic halitosis may indicate oral health issues requiring professional treatment.
