  • Title: Oral and nonoral sources of halitosis.
    Author: Messadi DV.
    Journal: J Calif Dent Assoc; 1997 Feb; 25(2):127-31. PubMed ID: 9534442.
    Abstract:
    Oral malodor (halitosis, bad breath) is a condition affecting millions of Americans. In healthy individuals complaining of bad breath, the mouth is the main source of their oral malodor, more specifically the posterior dorsum of the tongue. Nonoral sources should also be considered. It is always easy to recognize halitosis, but identifying the exact cause is more complex.
