Bad breath takes a massive attack on the population, becoming a serious social problem for many people regardless of age and status in life. Bad breath is a common concern not only in adults but also in children especially among adolescents resulting to embarrassing situations often with social consequences. Halitosis is the medical term for bad breath. One natural way of cleansing the mouth is through the regular flow of saliva washing bacteria away from the surfaces of the oral cavity. This helps reduce your case of bad breath. In fighting bad breath in children, it should be started at home by the parent's constant advice on proper oral health care or dental hygiene - regular brushing, flossing, proper diet, no alcohol abuse and awareness from tobacco effects and smoking, and regular dental visits.
