The causes of bad breath
1. Dental hygiene: In cases where oral hygiene is not good, there is an accumulation of food residues and bacterial plaque that cause the development of gingivitis.
The result is bad breath caused by the products of the bacteria.
Brushing twice a day with the use of an accessory for cleaning between the teeth such as dental floss results in the removal of the bacterial plaque (plaque) and can prevent some of the causes of odor.
2. Smoking:
tobacco products cause bad breath.
In addition, they increase the chances of gum disease and create dry mouth which may also cause bad breath.
3. Food:
Dissolving food particles trapped in the teeth can cause odors.
In addition, certain foods or drinks such as onions, garlic, spicy food, alcohol and caffeine can also cause bad breath.
4. Dry mouth:
Saliva cleans the mouth naturally.
If the mouth is dry due to certain medications or diseases that affect the rate of saliva secretion from the salivary glands, the quality of rinsing is impaired and the accumulated food residues lead to the formation of bad breath.
5. Improper diet:
A low-carb menu may also cause bad breath.
This is due to the breakdown of fats that produce breakdown products called ketones, which have a strong aroma.
6. Medications:
Certain medications may reduce the rate of saliva secretion and therefore increase odors.
Other drugs can produce odors as they break down and release chemicals in the breath.
7. Nose, ear and throat infections:
Sometimes, bacteria accumulate on the tonsils and may create an unpleasant mouth odor.
Also, infections or inflammations in the nose, throat or sinuses may also cause the phenomenon.
8. Problems with the digestive system:
Bad breath odors can sometimes be caused by the digestive system and problems with the digestive system.
