August 6 marks National Fresh Breath Day, and while fresh breath may not get much attention, its absence can speak volumes. When you're self-conscious about how your breath smells, it can limit how you show up in everyday moments. Taking action to fix the issue helps restore something bigger—your quiet strength in how you connect with others.
Why Breath Turns Sour
Bad breath is most often caused by bacteria that live in the mouth. These bacteria break down food particles and release unpleasant gases.
When brushing and flossing aren't consistent—or when issues like dry mouth or gum disease go untreated—those odors stick around. It's not just about what you eat; it's about what's left behind.
Why You Shouldn't Ignore It
Masking the smell with gum or mints won't address the problem. A dental exam can uncover deeper causes like tartar buildup, inflammation, or other oral conditions.
Your dentist can create a care plan that eliminates odor at the source and helps prevent it from coming back—so you can move through your day without worry.
