Halitosis: What it is, who has it and what to do about it
April 27, 2011 - Taking care of your halitosis can be difficult if you don't know its causes. Given the sheer number of forms that bad breath comes in - garlic breath, morning breath, coffee breath, smoker's breath, alcohol breath and many more - it's little wonder that some people have no idea where to begin treating their oral odor. Fortunately, researchers are making inroads into the condition's causes and treatments.

Getting rid of bad breath isn't always difficult, or expensive

UK organization uses humor to battle bad breath
April 22, 2011 - It can be easy to forget that bad breath is a common indicator of poor dental health.

Scientists prove the obvious: Tonsil stones smell terrible
April 20, 2011 - Bad breath almost always issues from the mouth, especially from the tongue, teeth and palate. However, from the back of the throat - a location whose inclusion in "the mouth" is up to you - a small, natural, pearl-like formation can ratchet up mild halitosis into a serious case of oral odor.

Certain diets may give bad breath a big boost
April 20, 2011 - Consuming pungent foods like garlic, onions, smoked fish or asparagus can give people a powerful case of halitosis, but ultimately the residue from these foods can be scrubbed away or rinsed out with a specialty breath freshener. Diets can get truly halitosis-inducing, though, is when they advocate skipping entire food groups.

Bad breath can practically smell like death
April 18, 2011 - Having halitosis is no picnic, particularly once you are told what your breath smells like. The most common compound scenting bad breath is hydrogen sulfide - the chemical that gives rotten eggs their unmistakable odor - but another putrid molecule, cadaverine, appears in bad breath in significant quantities as well.

Probiotics may crowd out halitosis-causing bacteria
April 1, 2011 - When it comes to treating bad breath, it's almost always about the bacteria in your mouth.
