“Who Forgot to Brush?” The Real Reasons Behind Bad Breath (and What You Can Actually Do About It)
Let’s be honest there’s nothing quite like the awkward pause when someone steps back mid-conversation... and you start questioning your last meal or your last brush.
Bad breath (halitosis) isn’t just a social inconvenience it’s a signal that something’s off. Whether it’s oral hygiene, dietary choices, or deeper health issues, your mouth is trying to tell you something.
Common Culprits Behind Bad Breath:
It’s not always as simple as “you didn’t brush.” Here are some real triggers:
1. Plaque & food debris – Trapped between teeth or on the tongue.
2. Dry mouth – Less saliva means more room for bacteria to thrive.
3. Tonsil stones – Small, hidden, and notoriously smelly.
4. Gum disease & cavities – Bacteria buildup causes inflammation and odour.
5. Strong-smelling foods – Garlic, durian, petai… deliciously dangerous.
6. Underlying health issues – Gastric reflux, sinus problems, or even diabetes.
Let’s Talk About the Dentist...
We get it many avoid dental visits until it’s absolutely necessary. But truth is, regular check-ups are one of the best defences against chronic bad breath (and much more). Prevention is easier and cheaper than treatment.
What You Can Do for Fresher Breath Daily:
1. Brush your teeth (and tongue!) at least twice a day
