What is bad breath? What causes bad breath?
Bad breath, also called halitosis, is mostly a sign of bad dental hygiene, dry mouth, or other mouth conditions. It can also be a sign of other conditions, such as diabetes and liver and kidney diseases.
Following are some of the reasons for bad breath:
– Gum disease: Gum disease includes gingivitis (gum inflammation), trench mouth (advanced gingivitis), and periodontitis (untreated gingivitis causes periodontitis).
– Bad oral hygiene: The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. The food substances stuck in your teeth are broken down by bacteria; this action results in a bad smell.
– Dry mouth: Dry mouth can be caused by smoking or certain medicines. Your saliva helps wash your mouth; if your mouth is unable to make sufficient saliva, it can cause your breath to smell bad.
