What causes breath odour?<\/strong><\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Researches prove that in most cases, breath odour is directly attributed to factors emanating in one\u2019s mouth. Varying widely, some prominent causes are:<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

– Poor oral hygiene habits: Irregular brushing, flossing and rinsing
– Medications: Diuretics, antidepressants, and other supplements that inhibit saliva production
– Gum infections: Infected tooth or gum lines and periodontitis<\/a><\/strong>
– Chronic ailments such as poorly controlled diabetes, respiratory infections and sinusitis
– Odour-inducing food items like onion and garlic
– Xerostomia: Excessively dry mouth
– Tobacco products<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Treating and preventing halitosis is a straightforward affair. If you wish to control mouth odour, you need to control the bacteria that causes it and minimize the plaque accumulation.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

1. Effective Mouth Cleaning:<\/strong> It involves
– Brushing and flossing
– Cleaning the tongue
– Oral rinses<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

2. Limiting supply to anaerobic bacteria:<\/strong> Anaerobic bacteria, while digesting proteins create Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs) that cause bad breath. Hence, it\u2019s pivotal that you limit munching frequently and thoroughly clean your mouth<\/strong><\/a> after eating. A lot of debris accumulates between your teeth and is later incorporated into the coating found on your tongue\u2019s back, which is exactly where the anaerobic bacteria reside.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
