Context:

Halitosis (bad breath) affects 25% of the population, with 85% of causes rooted in oral conditions like periodontitis or poor hygiene.
The 'bad breath paradox' describes how individuals with genuine halitosis often fail to perceive their own breath odor.
Increased awareness of oral hygiene and marketing contribute to rising cases of pseudohalitosis and halitophobia.

Purpose:

To review the literature on the causes of pseudohalitosis and halitophobia.
To describe diagnostic approaches for patients presenting with perceived halitosis.
To outline treatment strategies for pseudohalitosis and halitophobia.

Summary:

This paper examines the etiology of halitosis, differentiating between genuine halitosis, pseudohalitosis, and halitophobia.
It highlights the dentist's crucial role in diagnosing halitosis, as patients with pseudohalitosis or halitophobia often seek dental consultation.
The review discusses the psychological and social factors contributing to these conditions and proposes management plans.

Impact:

Provides clinicians with a comprehensive understanding of halitosis, pseudohalitosis, and halitophobia for accurate diagnosis.
Offers guidance on differentiating between genuine halitosis and psychogenic causes, leading to appropriate patient management.
Aims to improve patient outcomes by addressing the underlying causes of perceived bad breath and reducing unnecessary anxiety.
