Bad breath may be a symptom of any of the following conditions. See your healthcare provider for a diagnosis.
If your tonsils are inflamed, already infected, or swollen, it’s more likely you’ll develop tonsil stones. That’s because swollen tonsils have more wrinkles and crevices where food and bacteria can accumulate.
Since food and bacteria that get caught in the folds cause tonsil stones, tonsilloliths most commonly grow in the crevices where your tonsils and adenoids meet your throat.

The alternative is to scrape your tongue with a special tongue cleaner. This method is also under assessment in the newest Cochrane review. Their last report found just two small trials looking at this method. They showed it can work, but that the effect is short-lived. They also highlight the risk of damaging the tongue by pressing too hard and to ensure that if you want to use a toothbrush to clean your tongue, you make sure that it’s a soft one.

Experienced a little dehydration while under sunlight, enjoyed a spicy sandwich with additional garlic sauce, or had too many cups of coffee? Get ready to deal with halitosis! Several food items can cause bad breath (medically known as halitosis). However, chronic halitosis can be a sign of a severe medical condition as well.
Breath tests can help determine the presence and severity of halitosis. These tests measure the levels of volatile sulfur compounds in the breath, which can indicate the presence of tonsil stones or other causes of bad breath.
It is a little-known fact that halitosis can be a result of some underlying health problems. In fact, halitosis can be the sign that makes you wonder if there is something more deeply hidden that is causing your health to decline. Here are some of the most common health issues that create bad breath.

Beyond Brushing and Flossing: Exploring the Lesser-Known Causes of Chronic Bad Breath
Maintaining good oral hygiene is crucial for preventing bad breath. Regular brushing, flossing, and tongue scraping help remove food particles and bacteria from the mouth, reducing the risk of bad breath. Brushing should be done at least twice a day, using a toothbrush with soft bristles and fluoride toothpaste.
Our mouth is supposed to be full of saliva most of the time. Saliva helps our mouth stay healthy by killing bacteria and repairing our teeth (albeit very slowly). And it helps remove food debris. If you have a dry mouth, it’s easier for odors to build up because of food or bacteria.
If self-care measures do not improve your bad breath, it is recommended to seek professional help from a dentist or healthcare provider. They can conduct a thorough examination to determine the underlying cause of your halitosis and recommend appropriate treatment options.
