Halitosis, oral malodor (scientific term), breath odor, foul breath, fetor oris, or most commonly bad breath are terms used to describe noticeably unpleasant odors exhaled in breathing – whether the smell is from an oral source or not.

Halitosis has a significant impact - personally and socially – on those who suffer from it or believe they do (halitophobia), and is estimated to be the 3rd frequent reason for seeking dental aid, following tooth decay and periodontal disease.

Halitosis
Bad breath is also known as halitosis and can be very distressing for sufferers. While improved dental hygiene can cure most problems, in some cases bad breath can signal an underlying medical condition.
