ABSTRACT
A case of halitosis caused by the abuse of antibiotics is presented. The abuse of tetracycline resulted in a black hairy tongue and halitosis in this patient. Periodontal therapy and the withdrawal of tetracycline corrected these problems. This is the first patient with halitosis due to abuse of tetracycline seen in our clinic.
