Why do I have bad breath?

Many people suffer from bad breath; in fact, 40% of the population has problems with bad breath at some time in their lives. Some reasons for bad breath may be:
•Poor dental hygiene
•Eating certain foods, such as garlic or onions
•Smoking
•Chewing tobacco
•Diseases, such as cancer or diabetes

You can help reduce the incidence of bad breath by brushing and flossing each day to remove plaque. By avoiding certain foods you can also eliminate a lot of bad breath problems. If you wear a denture or removable partial denture, it is important to clean it thoroughly everyday and remove it at night so your mouth tissues can restore themselves daily.
