Background: A worldwide halitosis frequency of 10% - 30% is a common oral health complaint. Bad breath is described as a persistent condition in which a person's oral emissions are unpleasant or disagreeable. It not only hinders the person's ability to go about their routine activities, but also causes them shame and lowers their self-esteem, which in turn lowers their overall quality of life. Objective: The purpose of this study is to investigate how students majoring in dentistry and medicine see their own halitosis. Methodology: The students inducted in Bachelors in Medicine & Bachelors in Surgery (MBBS), and Bachelors in Dental Surgery (BDS) programs at various Teaching Institutes in Rawalpindi participated in this descriptive cross-sectional analytical epidemiological study. Around 500 undergraduates were given a self-administered questionnaire. Results: In our study, 96 (22.54%) were male students and 330 (77.46%) were female students respectively. 62 (64.6%) male and 255 (77.3%) female students from a variety of disciplines were familiar with the term ‘Halitosis’. 29 students (6.8%) said that halitosis had a mild impact, 189 students (44.36%) said that it had a moderate effect whereas 206 students (48.35%) rendered it as a major severe significant factor affecting their social life deleteriously.

Halitosis is defined as an unpleasant odor emanating from the oral cavity and has social and economic effects. Halitosis is a common complaint in individuals with periodontal disease, but limited data are available. The aim of this study is to evaluate self-reported halitosis and related conditions. It is a cross-sectional study using a questionnaire consisting of 10 questions on the self-perception of halitosis in patients who applied to the periodontology clinic. Five hundred nine individuals were included in the study. The relationship between individual-reported oral malodor and sociodemographic, medical history and oral hygiene variables was examined. Periodontal clinical parameters (plaque index, gingival index, and bleeding on probing) recorded in the patient forms of the individuals included in the study were evaluated. The prevalence of halitosis reported by the patients participating in the study is 34.2%. Factors that are significantly associated with self-perceived halitosis, low frequency of tooth brushing, increased degree of periodontal disease, regular drug use of patients, and low education level. Halitosis remains one of the main issues facing people in today’s world. As a result, dentists should play a bigger part in educating and alerting patients about oral malodor. There should be more public education regarding the causes of foul breath and potential treatments.
