Bad Breath Treatment in Milpitas
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a common condition that can affect children for many reasons. It often results from bacteria buildup in the mouth due to poor brushing, leftover food particles, or dry mouth. Other causes may include cavities, gum issues, or certain medical conditions.
