BAD BREATH

2. Alcohol:- the more you drink alcohol the more you are probable to get a mouth odor, Course it decreases the production of saliva, and whenever the mouth is dry it serves as a means for mouth odor to grow and develop.

3. Smoking:- smoking any kind of tobacco will lead to halitosis as well as serious health problems, smoking not only give bad breath but also causes serious issues to gum tissues.
