Halitosis

Halitosis, or bad breath, is a persistent and unpleasant odor on the breath, affecting up to 30% of the world's population and 49.5% in Portugal. In addition to physical causes, such as oral bacteria, changes in saliva, food, digestive or respiratory problems, the social impact is significant, affecting self-esteem and social interaction. Early diagnosis is essential to identify the source and guide appropriate treatment, promoting fresh breath, confidence, and daily well-being.
