If brushing twice a day and using mouthwash hasn't fixed your bad breath, the problem isn't your routine. It's the cause underneath. The mouth is a wet, warm space full of bacteria. Most of these bacteria are harmless. The ones that cause bad breath are anaerobic, meaning they hide in places where air doesn't reach. Common hiding spots: Deep grooves on the back of the tongue. Try gently brushing your tongue or using a tongue scraper. Pockets between teeth and gums caused by gum disease. Scaling reaches these. Cracked or leaking fillings where bacteria collect underneath. Dry mouth from medication or mouth breathing at night. Sinus drainage that brings bacteria into the mouth from above. Less commonly, stomach issues, but this is overdiagnosed online. At our South Delhi practice, persistent bad breath gets a full check-up: gum probing, tongue exam, X-rays of any old work, and an honest conversation about home habits. In most cases, two to three visits clears it. Treatment cost is far less than years of mouthwash that hasn't worked. #BadBreath #Halitosis #OralHealth #DentistSouthDelhi #DentalCheckup
