Do you find yourself stepping away when you speak closely with someone because of the smell of your breath? Or do you find yourself constantly reaching for mint gum because you know you have bad breath? Bad breath is something we all experience from time to time, especially after a large cup of coffee or a meal full of garlic and onions.

Frequent bad breath is a sign there is a problem in your mouth.
