Bad Breath (Halitosis) : Fundamental Knowledge & Concepts

Causes of Bad Breath: 

Poor oral hygiene

Dietary factors (e.g., garlic, onions)

Medical conditions (e.g., diabetes, GERD, sinus infections)

Dry mouth (xerostomia).

 Cultural and Historical Views on Halitosis :

Throughout history, halitosis (bad breath) has been recognized and addressed in various cultures. In ancient Egypt, people used aromatic herbs and spices, such as myrrh and frankincense, to combat bad breath. 

The ancient Greeks and Romans believed that poor oral hygiene and digestive issues were the main causes and used natural remedies like chewing parsley and using mouth rinses made from wine and herbs. In traditional Chinese and 

Ayurvedic medicine, halitosis was linked to imbalances in the body's internal systems, often treated with dietary changes and herbal treatments.

In medieval Europe, bad breath was sometimes associated with moral or spiritual failings, and remedies included herbal concoctions and  breath-freshening lozenges. By the 19th and early 20th centuries, with advancements in medical science, halitosis was increasingly viewed as a medical condition linked to oral bacteria and digestive disorders. 

The term "halitosis" itself gained widespread recognition in the early 20th century due to commercial marketing by mouthwash companies, which helped shape modern perceptions of the condition as a socially undesirable trait requiring treatment.
