The insidiousness of halitosis, how to deal with bad breath: causes, treatment methods

Bad breath: causes

Where do halitosis legs grow from? There are many factors here:

Caries and its complications (pulpitis, periodontitis, periostitis and other inflammatory dental diseases).
Periodontitis and periodontal disease. Periodontal pockets accumulate plaque and microorganisms, as well as decaying food debris.
Inflammatory diseases of the oral mucosa
Pathologies of the ENT organs (sinusitis, laryngitis, tracheitis), as well as rhinitis
Dry mouth. Insufficient saliva production leads to disruption of the self-cleaning process, which creates excellent conditions for the proliferation of bacteria (remember what your breath smells like in the morning, because there is little saliva at night). Their waste products create an unpleasant odor. A similar situation occurs with nasal congestion and forced breathing through the mouth when the mucous membrane dries out.
Diseases of internal organs (especially the gastrointestinal tract).
Parasitic infestation
Poor oral hygiene
Improper care of dental structures (braces, dentures).

A consultation with a dentist and, if necessary, doctors of other specialties will help you find out the true cause of the unpleasant odor. You may need to undergo additional examination (for example, FEGDS if gastritis or a stomach ulcer is suspected, or scraping for inflammatory diseases of the mucous membrane).

The root of the problem is microorganisms

Why is bad breath so persistent and appears again and again? To deal with the problem, you need to understand the mechanism of its occurrence as a whole. As you know, the mouth is a “home” for many bacteria, microorganisms, and fungi. Naturally, like all living organisms, they feed and excrete waste products. The more plaque there is on the teeth, the more comfortable the bacteria feel, because their preferred environment is oxygen-free, and just such conditions are created under the layer of plaque. Microorganisms produce sulfur compounds, which have a pungent odor and feel repulsive. It is noteworthy that even if a person brushes his teeth thoroughly, in some cases (for example, progressive periodontal disease), deep periodontal pockets cannot be cleaned out on their own, and they become a source of foul odor. The same applies to plugs with purulent tonsillitis, when white lumps of pus accumulate in the lacunae of the tonsils.

Bad breath in a child

In children, this problem is less common than in adults, because, as a rule, the average child has not yet developed chronic diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, and not all teeth have erupted. But what to do if you notice your child has bad breath? The reasons here are the same as in adults: in this way the body signals problems in the body. This means that there is a failure somewhere and a full examination needs to be carried out. In children of preschool and school age, adenoids may be a predisposing factor. The scheme is simple: adenoid growths block the path of air / breathing from the nose is replaced by the mouth / the mucous membrane dries out / saliva becomes scarce and bacteria multiply, giving rise to repulsive breathing. What if it’s just a baby? Many mothers are interested in what could be the cause of the problem if the child is one year old. Bad breath at this age can already appear due to the accumulation of plaque on the teeth (the norm is 8 by the age of one), the presence of worms, and the abuse of carbohydrate foods (cookies, sweets).

Important! You should be wary if you smell acetone from your mouth. You should contact an endocrinologist to be examined for diabetes and other electrolyte disorders.

How to get rid of bad breath

First, assess the scale of the problem. Bad breath in the morning after sleep is normal. To get rid of it, regular morning hygiene procedures (brushing your teeth, rinsing) are enough. If the reason is raging bacteria, it will be more difficult, but it is also possible to pacify them. What measures will be effective? How to remove bad breath and forget about the problem?

1) Diet correction.

The more protein foods you consume, the worse the “flavor”. By depriving bacteria of the ability to emit foul-smelling gases, you can significantly reduce the size of the enemy army. “More plant-based - less meat” - stick to this motto and you will notice an improvement from the very first days

2) Careful oral hygiene

Fortunately, the modern dental industry offers a huge number of teeth and gum care products for every taste and budget. Feel free to use ultrasonic brushes, irrigators, rinses, and flosses. To develop motivation in children, you can buy brushes in the shape of funny animals and organize competitions - who can brush their teeth better today? For those who wear braces or use dentures, we inform you (in case you didn’t know): there is a special series of care products for orthodontic structures (brushes, special brushes, etc.) that make dental care easier. Regular hygiene measures cleanse the oral cavity of bacteria and freshen breath. Don't forget about professional cleaning at the dentist every six months.

3) Stop smoking

Smokers do not notice how foul their breath is, and neither expensive cigarettes, nor lollipops, nor chewing gum can help. But others notice this very well. Leaving aside morals about the dangers of smoking, let's just say whether or not you smell decaying tobacco and the products of another 5,000 chemical compounds (there are about that many in cigarette smoke), it's up to you.

3) Eliminate the main problem

If the problem is in any specific disease, then no amount of rinsing or chewing gum will be able to remove halitosis; at most, they will mask it for a short time. Eliminate foci of infection in the oral cavity, treat your teeth, cure your stomach, tonsils, in other words, take care of all those health matters that you “didn’t get around to”, and the problem of unpleasant odor will be eliminated in parallel with the main treatment.

How to wear the sweetest perfume

So, gourmet scents have a huge advantage: they make their owner very appetizing without adding extra pounds and centimeters to the waist. Such compositions are great for relieving stress, creating comfort and a great mood, as they give only positive emotions. In the cold, they warm you up without causing a feeling of intrusiveness and cloying. However, there is a nuance: gourmet can be so bright that it is very inappropriate in the gym, in the heat, in a train compartment or on an airplane, at strict official events or crowded meetings.

Prevention is everything!

If you think that you have overcome bad breath, the treatment is over and you can relax - you are mistaken. It can come back very quickly, so listen to simple recommendations.

Helpful tips for fresh breath:

Drink more water.
Sufficient intake of water into the body ensures a high dissolving ability of saliva and washing away germs.
Consume more solid fruits and vegetables.
Fruits and vegetables serve as a kind of “grater” for plaque, removing it from the surface of the teeth. Less plaque - less odor!
Stimulate salivation.
This can be achieved by chewing something. Not necessarily chewing gum. Saliva production increases when chewing certain seeds and fruits with essential oils, such as cloves, parsley, mint.

In conclusion, we would like to remind you that in ancient times, based on the smell from the mouth, people could form an idea about a person, including their character traits. Subconsciously, this happens even today. There is only one conclusion - it’s better to take care of your health, this is reasonable from all points of view, as you have already seen.

How to choose a pleasant perfume: the most famous sweet women's fragrances

Ardent opponents of honey notes in everyday perfumes are justified: they are too cloying and disgusting. But this is what those who are not familiar with “premium class” perfume say. It is distinguished by its softness and weak expression of dessert notes, and is practically not felt on the skin.

Unobtrusive shades of citrus and chocolate, bergamot and coffee serve as a real “weapon of destruction” in the hands of connoisseurs.

But the unique composition of sweet and cloying components requires a special approach to its selection. Girls who prefer sweet perfumes should get a neutral scent that periodically replaces your favorite sweet option.

If you like perfumes with a strong sweetness, know when to use them in moderation. Do not forget that in transport or indoors a strong sweet smell can cause allergies.
