Overview
Symptoms
Bad breath odours vary depending on the source or the underlying cause. Common symptoms of bad breath include a white coating at the back of the tongue, a build-up of plaque around the teeth, dry mouth or mucus.

These can include:
- Eating or drinking strong-smelling or spicy foods and drinks
- Problems with your teeth and gums for example, gum disease.
- Medical conditions such as like tonsilitis or acid reflux

Treatment
Bad breath can be improved by performing an oral hygiene routine, brushing your teeth twice a day. You should also visit your dentist for regular check-ups. Regular dental check-ups will ensure any plaque is removed from your teeth, particularly in areas that are difficult to reach. This will also help identify any signs of gum disease and provide early treatment.
