Halitosis, also known as bad breath, treatment can be somewhat tricky, unless you figure out what's causing the problem in the first place. This is why a visit to your dentist might be in order before you can finally get rid of bad breath for good.If you would rather skip a visit to your dentist for the moment, you can start treating your bad breath at home by doing your brushing and flossing on a more routine basis. If you're not brushing your teeth and flossing after every meal, start by doing that. Halitosis is often the result of bacteria reproducing more quickly than you can remove it. The more you ignore the bacteria, the worse the problem will become, so the best solution is to make sure there isn't any food residue left in your mouth after a meal.
