Do cavities make breath smell?
I've been feeling self-conscious about my breath recently. My wife mentioned it a few times, and I suspect I might have a small cavity that's hard to see. Could a cavity really be the reason for bad breath?

I am actually facing this issue and was too shy to ask anyone. Does the smell go away completely after the filling is done, or do we have to use special mouthwash too?
Yes, food rot causes the smell. Instead of spending money on expensive mouth sprays which only mask it, spend that money on a dentist visit to get the cavity filled. It is a one-time cost that solves the root problem.
I used to worry constantly that people could smell my breath during conversations because of a hidden cavity. It really affected my confidence, but trust me, it is a very common issue. Getting it filled will solve it completely.
Yes, they do because food gets stuck in the hole and decomposes. A simple, practical step is to make your family brush twice a day and use warm salt water to rinse after meals until you see a dentist.
The small hole in the tooth acts as a pocket where food collects and rots, causing the smell. Chewing on a little fennel seeds or cardamom can help freshen your breath temporarily, but the tooth must be treated by a doctor.

Bro, yes, 100%. I had this issue and felt so awkward talking to my friends. Once the dentist cleaned out the decayed part and put the filling, the smell stopped instantly.
