    Halitosis in Children Secondary to ENT Infections
    (Springer International Publishing, 2021) Çiçek, Tuğçe Küçükoğlu; Muluk, Nuray Bayar; Reisacher, William
    Halitosis refers to malodour emanating from the mouth. It is derived etymologically from the Latin word “halitus”, signifying “breath”, and the Greek suffix (?osis) indicating a pathological process. The common lay term is “bad breath” [1, 2]. Halitosis is especially concerning for a child, as it may lead to exclusion, awkwardness in social situations and a degree of stigma. Studies have confirmed the negative impact that halitosis has on a person’s quality of life, particularly with respect to interpersonal relationships [3]. Sometimes the sufferer and his/her relatives have not noticed the condition, which comes to light following a visit to the dentist or general practitioner [2]. © The Editor(s) (if applicable) and The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2022.
