sorry.
I have all the symptoms of halitosis except for the bad btreath. My oder seems non offensive to all I ask (even the honest ones) but I do have xerostomia and have been referred to oral path for saliva replacement therapy. Any advice what are the true underlying causes of chronic xerostomia? Also my tongue is coated white and I postnasal drip.
Thanks for the help

Thanks for your advice. I will go see my physician asap.
Hi,
The medical term for bad breath is halitosis.
Chronic halitosis is a condition in which a person produces an offensive odor from their oral or nasal regions and they’re unable to eliminate it through normal oral hygiene techniques, such as flossing or brushing.
Since your teeth and gums are in excellent condition there could be medical problems to consider such as allergies, sinus congestion or post-nasal drips, nasal polyps, and xerostomia which is a dry mouth condition.
So I suggest that you check with your physician after consulting your dentist.
The post-nasal drip you are having is indicative of sinusitis usually.
