Why do we have bad breath?

Cause of bad breath 1: oral halitosis

According to statistics, 80% to 90% of bad breath comes from the oral cavity. Untreated caries, residual roots, residual crowns, poor restorations, abnormal anatomical structures, gingivitis, periodontitis and oral mucosal diseases in the mouth can all cause bad breath. Among them, dental caries and periodontal disease are the most common related diseases. Food residues and plaque often remain in deep caries cavities and under the overhangs of poor restorations. Bacteria ferment and decompose them, producing odor. Dental pulp necrosis or suppurative pulpitis can also cause a bad odor if not treated. Patients with periodontal disease often have a large amount of tartar and plaque, and the bacterial fermentation in the periodontal pocket produces hydrogen sulfide, indole and ammonia, which produce a bad odor. In addition, pus discharge from periodontal abscesses and periodontal pockets is mostly caused by infection with Staphylococcus aureus combined with periodontal pathogens, which can also emit a foul odor. The quality and quantity of saliva also play an important role. Decreased saliva volume,

The increase of organic components such as protein reduces the flushing and buffering effect of saliva, allowing bacteria to multiply and decompose saliva.

The organic components in gingival crevicular fluid and food residues produce a large amount of volatile sulfides, indoles and other substances, which cause bad breath.

The second reason for bad breath: non-oral bad breath

Diseases of the tissues adjacent to the oral cavity, such as purulent tonsillitis, chronic maxillary sinusitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc., can produce purulent secretions and emit a foul odor; common clinical medical diseases such as acute and chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer have a sour and smelly odor; pyloric obstruction and advanced gastric cancer often have stinky duck egg-like bad breath; patients with diabetic ketoacidosis can exhale acetone-smelling gas, and patients with uremia exhale the smell of rotten apples. In addition, diseases such as leukemia, vitamin deficiency, and heavy metal poisoning can all cause bad breath.
