Abstract

 Halitosis (from the Latin word for breath, “halitus”; also known as oral malodor, “fetor ex ore,” or      “fetor oris”) is a common condition. Patients may not be aware of their own bad breath and learn of it from another person.
 This topic will cover the epidemiology, pathogenesis, causes, evaluation, and management of halitosis. Related topics such as gingivitis, periodontitis, and odontogenic infections are discussed elsewhere. (See       "Overview of gingivitis and periodontitis in adults"     and       "Gingivitis and periodontitis in children and adolescents"     and       "Epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of odontogenic infections"     and       "Complications, diagnosis, and treatment of odontogenic infections"    .)
