Fighting Halitosis: Effective Strategies and Dental Considerations
Patient Query
Hello Doctor,
Hi, I've noticed that despite brushing my teeth regularly, my breath starts to smell like rotten eggs or onions as the day goes on. Additionally, I've been experiencing frequent, stinky flatulence every day. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
Bad breath can occasionally stem from gut issues and dietary habits. It's worth examining your gut health and considering a mouthwash containing 0.2% chlorhexidine to manage it. Additionally, dental problems like septic abscesses may contribute to halitosis.
Thanks
