Halitosis is a common complaint of one third of the population. It is commonly known as 'bad breath'. The causes of halitosis can both be intraoral (90%) as well as extraoral (10%). Malodor of oral etiology results from the oral cavity itself. Non oral etiology may include various systemic diseases and use of certain drugs. Halitosis can act as a biomarker for various systemic diseases. Organoleptic examination, gas chromatography and portable sulfide monitors are the common methods of measurement of halitosis. Brushing twice daily with tongue cleaning can sufficiently manage halitosis in majority of the population while antimicrobial oral rinses can be prescribed to the non respondents. Necessary investigations and treatment should follow for those having extra oral cause of halitosis.
口臭是三分之一人口的常见主诉。它通常被称为“口气不佳”。口臭的原因既有口腔内的（90%），也有口腔外的（10%）。口腔病因导致的口臭源于口腔本身。非口腔病因可能包括各种全身性疾病和某些药物的使用。口臭可作为各种全身性疾病的生物标志物。感官检查、气相色谱法和便携式硫化物监测仪是测量口臭的常用方法。对于大多数人来说，每天刷牙两次并清洁舌头就足以控制口臭，而对于无反应者可开抗菌漱口水。对于有口腔外口臭原因的人，应进行必要的检查和治疗。
