Bad breath is also called halitosis.
 Because of mouth dries out during sleep halitosis is more common in the morning. Dry mouth creates a more fertile breeding ground for bacteria in plaque on the teeth and the back of the tongue. If your Tongue has a white coating, this is evidence of excessive anaerobic bacteria buildup. Also one of the most common side effects of thousands of medications is dry mouth (xerostomia). The bacteria produces a number of odours including volatile sulfur compounds which are believed to be the major cause of bad breath
Most cases of halitosis are not serious and relate to dental hygiene such as periodontal disease. If the bad breath is coming from the mouth then it is likely to be purely a dental concern, but if the breath seems to be coming from inside the body or from the nose then it is possible another condition is causing it and a medical check up is advised.
Of course, if you eat certain kinds of food (like garlic and onions), take certain kinds of medications, or smoke cigarettes or cigars, you may also experience symptoms of bad breath.
