Bad breath (halitosis)
goodtoknow says: Most cases of bad breath are caused by poor dental hygiene and gum disease, not ill health. The smell comes from bits of food which get stuck between your teeth and become riddled with bacteria. The bacteria forms plaque and this can lead to gum disease, all of which add to the smell. Other causes of bad breath include garlic, spicy food, alcohol, smoking and crash dieting. The smell usually goes if you brush your teeth at least twice a day, floss daily and use an antiseptic mouthwash.
