Before we really dive into the topic of “How to Get Rid of Bad Breath” … shouldn’t we figure out where bad breath comes from? Let’s start there.
There are many factors that can cause bad breath. Most of them involve changes to your oral health routine and are fairly simple to treat. However, more extensive care can be required to make a fresh start and eliminate the source of bad breath.
Medically called, halitosis can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. The types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits can make it worse. The bad news is that 65% of Americans have halitosis. The good news is that it can be treated. So let’s look at the causes and explore how to get rid of bad breath.

An Ode to Ice Cream
“Ice cream, ice cream…so creamy, sweet, and cold
To my tongue, you are delicious, flavorful, and bold
But when you touch my teeth, I want to scream in pain
I love you, sweet ice cream… but I fear my love’s in vain”
– Anonymous
Raise your hand if you often scream, “My teeth are sensitive!” when you bite into that ice cream cone (or can’t bite into ice cream, because you know better!!)

From the time of George Washington to the modern day, dentures have provided assistance for those in dire need of tooth replacements, and will continue to do so for many years to come. Dentures, as you probably already know, are removable devices that are fitted to replace the missing teeth, and provide functional and aesthetic relief. Typically, dentures are used by individuals who have lost many or even all of their natural teeth due to gum disease, tooth decay or other accidents/injuries. Fortunately in the time since President Washington wore his ivory (not wooden) dentures, vast improvements within the dental industry have been made. With today’s ever advancing technology, modern dentures are able to provide a reliable, comfortable, and aesthetically pleasing solution for millions of patients nationwide.
