Bad breath typically originates in the mouth, often from the back of the tongue. Nasal problems also can cause bad breath; odor generated in this manner can be easily distinguished from mouth odor by comparing the odor exiting the mouth and nose. In most cases, good professional oral care combined with a daily regimen of oral hygiene--including interdental cleaning, deep tongue cleaning and optional use of an efficacious mouthrinse---will lead to improvement. This article discusses common causes of oral malodor as well as methods to assess the extent of the problem.
口臭通常源于口腔，多来自舌后部。鼻腔问题也会导致口臭；通过比较从口腔和鼻腔呼出的气味，以这种方式产生的气味很容易与口腔异味区分开来。在大多数情况下，良好的专业口腔护理加上日常的口腔卫生习惯——包括牙缝清洁、彻底的舌面清洁以及酌情使用有效的漱口水——会使情况得到改善。本文讨论了口腔异味的常见原因以及评估问题严重程度的方法。
