Bad Breath
A problem-space hub linking education on halitosis causes and habits to relevant product categories when appropriate.
Bad breath is a topic hub, not a single product type. Education comes first: causes, habits, and when to see a dentist. Product paths (mouthwash, toothpaste, tongue care, oral probiotics) appear only where editorially justified — never as a hard sell.
What belongs here
- Plain-language explainers on common causes (without diagnosing readers).
- Habit and routine guidance that does not require a purchase.
- Clear routing into product categories only when the evidence path is honest.
- “See a dentist” signposting for persistent symptoms — we are not a clinic.
What does not belong here
- Medical diagnoses or treatment instructions.
- Fear-based marketing that converts health anxiety into cart adds.
- Scores presented as clinical effectiveness.
