I am a 32-year-old woman with a very embarrassing problem which is foul breath. I perceive the odour all the time and I have been to different hospitals without any solution. Every- where I go, people seem to avoid me because of the problem. I will be highly delighted if you can help me out of my current predicament.

Bad breath (Halitosis) can be assumed or real. When assumed, the cause is usually psychological since the so-called bad breath is only known to the sufferer. However, when real, the condition can be due to several factors which range from infected tonsils to dirty and tartar covered teeth, an infected sinus or an inflammatory and purulent condition in the nose and throat. To know the difference as well as the way forward, it will be a good thing to visit a Dentist who after a thorough examination will adequately manage your condition.
