Halitosis – The Ongoing Search for a Treatment
If you find that you’re becoming increasingly aware of a
problem with chronic bad breath, you may be suffering from
halitosis. Such a condition can have serious impact on your
social life, unless an effective treatment is found which
can eliminate the problem. Many people struggle with this
potentially devastating malady for years before finding an
effective treatment. Others never have such good fortune,
and turn to home remedies or saturate themselves with an
inundation of breath mints, mouthwash strips, chewing gum
and various breath sprays. This can be both inconvenient
and expensive, when you do the math.
Certain Medications Cause Halitosis. Does Yours?
Side affects: dry mouth (AKA halitosis)
Does you medication list halitosis (dry mouth) as a side
affect. Countless over-the-counter medicines and
prescriptions medications claim dry mouth as a possible
side affect. Dry mouth is a leading cause of chronic bad
breath (halitosis), which means your medications could
cause halitosis. And you wouldn’t even know it, unless
someone brought it to your attention, since most people
cannot smell their own breath.
Any medication or treatment that causes dry mouth or
reduces salivation, allergy medications, antidepressants,
blood pressure, and sinus medications all have the
potential to cause halitosis.

worry that it is a group of people making fun of your bad
breath. Suddenly, the world seems to revolve around your
bad breath and fighting halitosis. The good news is that
fighting halitosis is easier than you think, so stop
stressing and read on (you’ll even learn about a bad breath
home remedy or two!)

Help! I Have Chronic Halitosis!
What is chronic halitosis?
The most common cause of chronic halitosis (chronic bad
breath) is an oral condition such as bacterial build up in
the mouth, a cavity, or abscess. Another possible cause is
bacteria that produce volatile sulfur compounds on the
tongue which can occur either because your body produces
too much naturally, or from a high protein diet. Another
common cause of chronic halitosis is dry mouth. All the
conditions mentioned above are breeding grounds for the
bacteria that cause bad breath. But there are cures for
chronic bad breath which we’ll get into later.
