Bated Breath

Bad breath is an embarrassing problem that most people dont want to talk about. But it can be a symptom of a bigger problem.

Halitosis can be caused by obvious sources, such as eating garlic or onions or smoking. But it also can be a sign of periodontal disease, says the American Dental Association.

If brushing and flossing don't leave your breath smelling fresh, see your dentist.
