Forgetting to brush your teeth in the morning can definitely make you feel self-conscious about being in close proximity to others-but if you’re noticing stinky breath regardless of brushing, something else could be to blame. Here are a few common culprits.
1. Medications. Common medicines like antihistamines and decongestants can be to blame.
2. Dry mouth can cause bad breath because there isn’t enough saliva in your mouth to provide moisture and neutralize acids or wash away debris.
3. A diet heavy in sugary foods can lead to halitosis because bacteria thrives in a high-sugar environment.
4. Infection can also be to blame for bad breath. If you’re noticing pain in the mouth or an abscess, give us a call.
