Halitosis--or bad breath--tends to be associated in 60% of cases with a dental problem, although other disorders related to the digestive or respiratory apparatus may be behind 17% of cases. In fact, experts estimate that there may be more than 80 causes of halitosis, and point out that it is necessary to know its origin in order to establish the proper treatment.
