Bad Breath is also known as halitosis, and it’s something we typically don’t like to acknowledge or talk about. However, it can negatively impact your personal and professional relationships as people may avoid approaching you. Bad breath is one of those conditions we’re often not aware of on our own, so if you’re lucky enough to have someone make you aware of your halitosis, take it as an opportunity to correct the situation. Your dentist in Joplin explains what causes bad breath and how you can eliminate it.
