Poor Oral Hygiene<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Irregular brushing and flossing allow food particles and plaque to build up, producing odour-causing bacteria.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Brush twice daily, floss once a day, and don\u2019t forget to clean your tongue.<\/p><p><strong>2. Dry Mouth (Xerostomia)<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Saliva helps rinse away bacteria.

Smoking &amp; Tobacco<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Tobacco dries the mouth, worsens gum health, and causes strong odours.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Quit smoking and seek support programs or alternatives.<\/p><p><strong>5. Gum Disease or Cavities<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Infections create pockets where bacteria thrive.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Visit a dentist for cleaning or treatment\u2014brushing alone won\u2019t resolve this.<\/p><p><strong>6. Sinus or Throat Issues<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Postnasal drip and tonsil stones can harbour bacteria.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Treat underlying infections, use saline rinses, and stay hydrated.<\/p><p><strong>7. Acid Reflux (GERD)<\/strong><br \/><strong>Cause:<\/strong> Stomach acid can reach the mouth, causing sour breath.<br \/><strong>Fix:<\/strong> Avoid trigger foods, eat smaller meals, and consult your doctor.<\/p><p><strong>8.
