Abstract: The public is greatly concerned about the impact of breath on personal and professional aspects of life.It is an issue that affects one's quality of life and social relationships leading to feelings of self-esteem, sadness and other mood disorders.Professionals such as dentists, doctors, dietitians and psychologists should collaborate to assess and provide treatment for this problem.Therefore, it is crucial to study the causes and explore treatment options for halitosis.With society's increasing emphasis on cleanliness interest in odor has also grown.Bad breath can cause distress and impede social interactions because it is challenging to detect oral malodor on our own.Even individuals who do not have bad breath might experience anxiety or distress when they notice others reacting by pinching their noses or making grimaces during conversations.Given its origins, addressing breath requires a comprehensive evaluation and intervention from experts, in dentistry, medicine, nutrition and psychology.
