What is Halitosis, How do you get Halitosis

Thursday, May. 27th 2010 7:59 PM

Hi I am 13 and I would like to know what is Halitosis so I can explain to my mom.  Four days ago I was waiting in the dental office while my mom got a cleaning.  She does not speak much English.  My English is better but there are some words I do not know the meaning of.

Anyway he was telling my mom that she needs to floss better since she does not do this every day.  As I was explaining to my mom what the dentist said he told me to tell her if she does not floss better she could get get gum disease and halitosis.  I know what gum disease is but not halitosis is that the type of gum disease?  I was not sure how to explain to her so I left it out.  If some one knows I will tell her about it too.
