Bad Breath

Bad Breath - Many patients suffer from bad breath. The patients who realise that they have halitosis, do not feel comfortable when speaking to someone. There are various reasons for bad odour from mouth. It could be related to the type of food which we eat, such as food with intense odour e.g onion, garlic. Sometimes it could be due to alcohol, smoking, tobacco. Other reasons are poor oral hygiene, gingivitis, periodontitis, sinusitis & throat infection, patients with diseases such as diabetes, keto acidosis condition, liver disease, kidney disease, lung infection, dehydrated patients and dry mouth( xerostomia) .Dry mouth is usually seen in patients who are mouth breathers, on medications, salivary gland diseases, patients who have undergone chemotherapy, radiotherapy.
It is advised that patients should seek an appointment with dental professional to find the causative factor and get rid of bad odour .
It is advised that after your meal you should do brushing and flossing of your teeth. Use of mouth wash can also help in reducing odour from mouth. As food is lodged in between teeth there is increase in the bacterial count, release of toxins which can lead to bad odour.
Always brush two times daily.
Tongue surface should also be kept clean by brushing. Use floss,interdental brush to remove food lodged between the teeth. Those who wear dentures, they should remove the denture at night and denture should be cleaned with brush regularly.
