Five (5) Reasons for Your Bad Breath

Bad breath, often known as halitosis, is most likely not a life or death situation. However, it has the potential to make you feel self-conscious and have a detrimental influence on your quality of life. The majority of individuals who suffer from bad breath are coping with bacterial infections in their mouths. There are, however, additional factors that contribute to this awkward situation. Educating yourself on the subject may assist you in combating this manageable issue.

Here are five reasons why you have embarrassingly bad breath.

• Mouth feeling dry. A reduction in saliva flow may be caused by a number of different factors. The majority of the time, medicine or mouth breathing is to blame. Saliva helps to prevent bad breath by washing away food particles from your mouth and oral cavity. The condition of dry mouth may be alleviated by increasing salivation.
• Gum disease is associated with poor oral hygiene. Gum disease may develop as a result of improper brushing and flossing techniques or insufficient frequency of brushing and flossing. If you have bad breath, it might be a symptom that you have plaque on your teeth.
• Bad Breath Caused by Eating Too Much. Food particles that are not removed by brushing or flossing attract germs, which results in foul breath. Following the consumption of pungent-smelling meals such as garlic or onions, it is extremely vital to wash your teeth.
• Tobacco and smoking are two of the most harmful habits a person can have. Tobacco is terrible for your health in general, and it is especially detrimental for your dental health. The use of tobacco products, such as cigarettes and gum, may lead to the development of gum disease and oral cancer.
• Infections of the mouth and other medical problems. Your poor breath may be caused by a mouth infection, sinus infection, or even the common cold for a short period of time. Even medical disorders such as diabetes and GERD may result in bad breath. It's always a good idea to consult with Dr. Marianne Cohan to establish the root of the problem.
