If you have reason to believe that there is a problem, see your dentist. Do not run to a specialist like an Ear Nose and Throat doctor, since bad breath usually comes from the mouth itself. Visit your dentist instead.

 
     
 

When you see the dentist, it is a good idea to explain in advance that you will be asking for advice about bad breath. Also, try to go with someone who is familiar with the problem, to help give the dentist an objective picture of how bad the odor really is, how long you have had it, and whether it improves or gets worse. Bad breath often varies over a period of days or weeks. A family member or friend can also help determine whether the odor at the time of the appointment resembles, both in character, and intensity, the odor that is generally troublesome.

 
     
 
If the dentist knows that the consultation is about bad breath, you may be asked not to eat, drink, smoke, chew gum, suck confectionery, use mouthwashes, breath fresheners etc., so that the odor will be more typical. You should also avoid using perfumed cosmetic products, such as perfumes, aftershave and scented lipstick prior to the appointment; it can interfere with the odor assessment. If the dentist is not told about the reason for the consultation beforehand, do these things anyway and tell the dentist you have prepared for the appointment in this way.
 
     
 
Your dentist will ask questions to help determine the possible causes of the odor, and then compare the odor coming from your nose and mouth. In most cases (85 to 95%), the odor comes from the mouth rather than the nose. This is an indication that bacterial activity somewhere in the mouth is responsible. If the odor comes from the nose, then the nasal passages may be involved.
 
     
  Your dentist may also make measurements using a sulphide monitor to help in diagnosis and treatment, since volatile sulphur compounds are often associated with bad breath.
