What most don't know is that taking multiple medications is the number one cause. There are more than 400 medications that can cause it, including many over-the-counter and commonly prescribed medications. If you're one of the 3.5 million Canadians who take two or more medications Dry Mouth could be the cause of your lingering bad breath.

Mints and breath strips might be a temporary solution for bad breath, but they won't moisturize your Dry Mouth.

“Patients come to me all the time, whispering about their bad breath because they're too embarrassed to be heard out loud,” says Erin Kofman, pharmacist. “When we recognize that the bad breath is a symptom of Dry Mouth, I always recommend products like Biotène mouthwash, spray or gel. These products can help moisturize the inside of your mouth, provide soothing relief and freshen breath.”
