Common Causes of Bad Breath — Hamilton Guide
- Gum disease (periodontitis): bacteria in deep gum pockets produce volatile sulfur compounds (VSC) — the main source of chronic bad breath
- Tongue bacteria: the posterior tongue surface harbors massive bacterial colonies
- Dry mouth: saliva neutralizes acids and clears bacteria — reduced saliva = worsened breath
- Cavities: decayed tooth structure harbors anaerobic bacteria
- Tonsil stones: calcified debris in tonsil crypts (not dental — ENT referral)
- Systemic conditions: GERD, diabetes (ketone breath), kidney disease
