National Fresh Breath Day is August 6, and it’s a great time to stop wondering if your breath is turning people away. Whether it’s during a conversation, a meeting, or a close encounter, persistent odor can chip away at your comfort. If you’re relying on mints and mouthwash, it may be time to eliminate the doubt once and for all.

Why Bad Breath Happens

Chronic bad breath is usually caused by bacteria that thrive in areas of the mouth that are often missed—like the back of the tongue or under the gumline. These bacteria break down food particles and release unpleasant sulfur compounds. 

Dry mouth, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, and even certain medications or health conditions can all make things worse.

How Professional Care Helps

A dental exam can uncover the true cause of bad breath. Whether it’s plaque buildup, inflammation, or something more complex, your dentist can offer real solutions. Deep cleanings, treatment for dry mouth, and tips for better daily care can restore your breath and your confidence.
