why your breath REALLY stinks (dental hygienist explains)

By Regency Dental Group Includes video

Are you brushing your teeth AND tongue scraping...but you still have bad breath? Let's talk!

Having bad breath can be super embarrassing. Occasional bad breath is one thing, but chronic halitosis (that’s the clinical term we use for bad breath) can affect everything from your private to your professional life. When you know what causes bad breath, you can treat it easier. There’s more to combatting bad breath than avoiding garlic or popping a breath mint a few times a day. In reality, some types of bad breath can even be linked to underlying health problems!
