Where does bad breath originate?

0

Bad breath arises from the mouth (oral cavity) over 90% of the time with less than 5% of cases arising in the sinuses. Other sources such as the lungs and stomach are rare. The most common site of origin are the filaments on the surface of the tongue. Other sites in the mouth and throat are periodontal disease, dental cavities (caries) and the tonsils.
