• Bad breath, or halitosis, is mainly caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, which produces a foul smell. Bad breath can be embarrassing, but fortunately once you have identified the causes, you can begin treatment.

Tobacco use. If you smoke, quit. Your bad breath may be due to other causes, too, but tobacco use is a guarantee of bad breath. If you are ready to quit, ask your doctor or dentist for advice and support.

What you eat, or don't eat. Certain foods, such as garlic, contribute to bad breath, but only temporarily. Once they are absorbed into the bloodstream, the smell is expelled through the breath, but the odors remain until the body processes the food, so there's no quick fix.

Dry mouth. If your mouth is extremely dry, there is not enough saliva to wash away excess food particles and bacteria, which can cause an unpleasant smell if they build up on the teeth.

On rare occasions, bad breath can be a sign of a more serious medical condition so it's important not to ignore the problem and to see a dental professional if the problem persists.

• Cavities and Tooth Decay is one of the most common and widespread persistent diseases today and is also one of the most preventable.

Brushing regularly with an electric toothbrush can help prevent tooth loss by more effectively removing the plaque bacteria that can lead to tooth decay.

Keep up with regular dental checkups in order to identify pre-existing conditions before they lead to more serious issues down the road.

Flossing regularly after brushing especially if you're frequently eating or drinking sugary foods or drinks. Flossing once or twice a day with Crest Pro-Health products can help you remove food particles from between the hard-to-reach areas of your teeth you might be missing.

• Dry Mouth is a daily problem that makes you feel uncomfortable while you swallow, eat or speak. It is a condition in which you do not produce enough saliva (spit) to keep your mouth feeling wet.

Stress and anxiety can contribute to dry mouth, as can the medications you might take for them. It is important to communicate with your dental professional about issues concerning your overall health because anything that increases your risk for dry mouth also increases your risk for gum disease.

Medications are a major cause of dry mouth. In fact, medications cause approximately 90 percent of all cases of dry mouth, according to the Academy of General Dentistry. You may not be able to discontinue your medication, but you should keep your dentist informed when something in your overall health changes and you start taking medication. For example, antidepressants, antihistamines, anti-inflammatories and anti-hypertensive medications are just some of the many types of drugs that can contribute to a dry mouth.

A variety of conditions can cause dry mouth, also known as xerostomia, including the following:

Cancer treatments: If you have any type of cancer of the head or neck and you receive radiation therapy, dry mouth is a common side effect because the radiation damages the salivary glands in addition to destroying the cancer. Some medications used to treat cancer in any part of the body can also cause dry mouth.

Prescription medications: Hundreds of common medications, including many antidepressants and medications for high blood pressure, can contribute to a dry mouth. If you take medications that seem to make your mouth feel dry, be especially vigilant about tooth brushing and proper flossing.

Chronic illness: Diabetes, HIV/AIDS, and Parkinson's disease are among the diseases that can contribute to a chronic dry mouth. Some older people suffer from Sjogren's Syndrome, an autoimmune disease characterized by extremely dry eyes and a dry mouth.

Drug use: Methamphetamines have been associated with dry mouth.

• Plaque and Tartar: Removing plaque at home on a daily basis lessens your chances of tartar buildup and experiencing more serious dental problems such as cavities, gingivitis, and bad breath. Healthy dental habits, such as brushing for two minutes twice daily and flossing after every brush, can help you prevent the harmful effects of plaque buildup. If you have kids, remember: It's never too early to help them learn good oral care.
• Tooth Sensitivity: People who suffer from tooth sensitivity avoid daily activities such as consuming hot or cold foods and beverages as well as brushing their teeth. These simple activities cause tooth sensitivity sufferers to live in constant fear of severe pain. Sensitivity occurs when the dentin, a porous tissue in your teeth, becomes exposed. The dentin has microscopic channels, called tubules, which are pathways to the nerve. When dentinal tubules are exposed, due to receding gum tissue or enamel loss, nerves are more easily triggered by certain stimuli causing tooth sensitivity.

Causes

Overzealous brushing:'You can have too much of a good thing. Brushing your teeth with too much force, or with a hard-bristle toothbrush, may wear down tooth enamel, expose the cementum or dentin and cause tooth sensitivity. 

Tooth grinding: Grinding your teeth can cause the enamel to wear away and leave the dentin exposed.

Gum disease: Inflamed gum tissue pulls away from the tooth, leaving vulnerable areas exposed.
