Saliva helps moisten and cleanse the mouth, and when the body does not product enough saliva, bad breath may result. Dry mouth may be caused by salivary gland problems, connective tissue disorders (SjÃ¶gren's syndrome), medications, or breathing through the mouth.
Another common cause of dry mouth is new medications. Allergy medications, over the counter cold medications, and numerous prescription medications can all cause dry mouth. If you have recent started a new medication, this would be a front runner in my mind as a potential cause.
