Here are the answers to the pop quiz from last week.
1) Halitosis is the medical term for "bad breath".
2) E. All of the above could be causes, and there are others. If you suffer from bad breath that does not go away, talk with your dentist to find out about treatments that may be able to help you.
3) Well, this could be both true and false. Using a mouth rinse daily may help combat halitosis, but to actually treat the condition, you have to find out what is causing the bad breath. Treatments will vary depending on the cause.
Did you know...some people that suffer from bad breath actually can't smell their own halitosis? This happens because the odor detecting cells get "used" to the smell and therefore the person has no clue that their breath may be offending others. If you notice someone backing up from you when you speak, it might be time to see your dentist to discuss the possible causes and treatments!
Hope you all have a great halitosis-free weekend! :-)
