Do you have bad breath???

• Dry mouth (xerostomia) caused by various medications, salivary gland problems or by continuous breathing through the mouth
• Smoking
• Alcohol 
• Medical disorders such as respiratory tract infections such as lung abcess, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney failure
