Bad breath on Valentine's Day can be prevented by addressing poor dental hygiene, dry mouth, certain foods, and underlying gum disease before the holiday.
Bad breath is caused by bacteria, food breakdown, tobacco, and gum disease, but daily brushing, flossing, and regular cleanings can keep halitosis in check.

Chronic dry mouth reduces the saliva needed to neutralize acids and wash away food, increasing the risk of cavities, gum disease, and oral fungal infections.
