There’s no reason to go on being embarrassed by those persistent bouts of bad breath, there are ways of dealing with chronic halitosis. If the condition is determined to be linked to your oral health your dentist may recommend switching to an electric toothbrush and using an antibacterial mouthwash and toothpaste to flush out the plaque and food debris that can contribute to the problem. Odor causing bacteria can easily collect in the “pockets” that are created by receding gum tissue, your dentist will make that evaluation.
