Common causes of bad breath.

1. Dirty oral hygiene and the accumulation of plaque, tartar and tartar are the most direct causes of bad breath.

Simple oral halitosis is mainly caused by oral diseases such as caries and periodontal disease. There are a large number of various bacteria in the cavities of caries or the periodontal pockets of periodontal disease, which can produce decomposition substances such as acids and hydrogen sulfide, thereby producing a special sour and smelly smell. The dental plaque and food residues in the periodontal pocket induce periodontitis under the action of bacteria. The inflammatory cells and bacteria in the periodontal pocket die and form pus, which is decomposed by bacteria, thus producing a special fishy smell.

2. Bad breath is also related to diet and smoking.

For example, after eating garlic and onions, these strong odors will be carried through the blood and exhaled through the lungs. Tobacco will make your breath sour and smelly.

3. Chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer can cause bad breath.

This is because if you have stomach problems, the digestive function of the stomach and intestines will decline, causing food to stay in the stomach and intestines for too long, and decompose through other bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract to produce various smelly gases. People with stomach cancer will definitely have bad breath. The reason is that after a tumor grows in the stomach, food is not digested well and more gas is produced. People who are Helicobacter pylori positive also have bad breath.

4. Bad breath can also occur due to mental stress or staying up late.

The pace of life is fast and the pressure is high. When the brain is under pressure, sleep will be poor, which will affect gastrointestinal function. If you often stay up late, your breath will not be fresh. In addition, some diabetics may also have bad breath due to their disease.

Bad breath has a great impact on our image, so we must actively prevent and treat bad breath. Pay attention to a light daily diet, maintain a regular work and rest schedule, do not smoke, brush your teeth after eating heavy-tasting food, and treat periodontal and oral diseases in a timely manner. Simple oral halitosis can be treated with oral medications and surgery. In addition, regular teeth cleaning is a good way to get rid of bad breath. It is generally better to have your teeth cleaned every six months to a year.
