Bad breath, or halitosis, is very common and highly treatable. Start with excellent oral hygiene: brush twice daily, floss, and use a tongue scraper. For mouthwash, look for alcohol-free generic formulas containing active antibacterial ingredients like cetylpyridinium chloride, zinc formulation, or chlorhexidine (use chlorhexidine only short-term). Staying well-hydrated by drinking water also helps prevent dry mouth, a common cause of odor. If bad breath persists, please schedule a routine visit with your dentist. They can easily identify and treat common underlying issues like plaque buildup or mild gum inflammation. There is no need to worry; this is a very manageable concern.
