      Tooth decay also called dental cavities, oral cancers, gum diseases that include gingivitis and periodontitis.
      Gum disease, cavities, oral cancer, dry mouth, and bacteria on the tongue are some of the dental problems that can cause bad breath. Bad breath/ halitosis which could be downright embarrassing! It is important to brush your teeth at least twice a day, and also visit a dentist for a yearly checkup (even if your teeth feel fine).
