Myth: Bad breath means poor oral hygiene. Fact: Bad breath can result from various causes, including certain foods, medical conditions, and dry mouth.

Contrary to popular belief, bad breath is not solely a sign of poor oral hygiene. While inadequate brushing and flossing can contribute to unpleasant odors, various other factors can also be responsible. Certain foods, such as garlic and onions, can cause temporary bad breath, while medical conditions like sinus infections, diabetes, and gastrointestinal issues may lead to more persistent problems. Additionally, dry mouth, which can be caused by medications or dehydration, reduces saliva production and allows odor-causing bacteria to thrive. Understanding these diverse causes is essential for effectively addressing and managing bad breath.
