One of the biggest problems with bad breath is that it won't go away even after regular brushing or flossing. This is because the underlying problems may not be getting addressed that will end it completely.
The first thing we should know is what are the factors that can cause bad breath?
There are several factors that can cause bad breath, also known as halitosis. Some common causes include:
- Poor oral hygiene: Not brushing and flossing your teeth regularly can cause bacteria to build up in your mouth, leading to bad breath.
- Food and drink: Certain foods and drinks, such as garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol, can leave a strong odour in your mouth.
- Tobacco use: Smoking or using tobacco products can cause bad breath and also increase the risk of gum disease and other oral health problems.
- Dry mouth: Saliva helps to wash away food particles and bacteria in your mouth. If you have a dry mouth, this can cause bad breath.
- Medical conditions: Certain medical conditions such as sinus infections, respiratory infections, and digestive problems can cause bad breath.
- Medications: Some medications can cause dry mouth, which in turn can lead to bad breath.
- Poorly fitting dental appliances: Dentures, braces, and other dental appliances can trap food particles and bacteria in your mouth, leading to bad breath.
