Bacteria

Your mouth is warm and wet — ideal conditions for breeding bacteria. Over 500 different strains of bacteria can be found in your mouth, mostly on the top surface of your tongue and in the crevices between your teeth.

These bacteria cause the release of volatile sulfuric compounds (VSCs), gasses that make your breath foul.

Smoking

Smoking itself can cause bad breath, and smoking can also cause mouth and gum diseases that worsen breath.

Dey mouth

Saliva breaks down food and helps manage bacterial growth in your mouth. If your salivary glands don’t make enough saliva, your mouth dries out — a condition called xerostomia. Xerostomia can lead to gum disease, cavities, and other odor-causing problems.

Some medications can also dry out your mouth, including:

antidepressants

antipsychotics

diuretics

blood pressure medications

some cancer medications

In rare cases, a disorder in the salivary gland can interfere with saliva production. 🙆🙆🙆

How to treat (or better yet, prevent) bad breath smells

Because bad breath can make you feel self-conscious, make u loose ur confidentiality,make you isolate ursef from people there are numerous remedies on the market to correct it.

Here are some steps you can take to eliminate bad breath and keep your mouth healthy.

Practice good dental hygiene

The American Dental Association recommends brushing twice daily for at least 2 minutes not sharp sharp you have finished brushing. Daily flossing is also important because food particles can get stuck in places a toothbrush can’t easily reach.

If you have dental appliances, a device that uses water to jet away food, like a Waterpik, might work better than floss or tape. Some mouthwashes kill bacteria as they freshen your breath, and many contain fluoride to protect your teeth and gums from decay.

Get regular dental checkups

Seeing a dentist twice a year is an important preventative measure. Regular cleanings can remove stubborn plaque buildup that can be hard to get rid of on your own.

Your dentist or hygienist can also show you techniques and devices for making sure you follow the most effective at-home dental hygiene practices. Because bad breath is most often caused by something going on in your mouth or throat, a dentist can help isolate the cause.

Talk to a healthcare professional

If a health condition is causing your bad breath, you’re probably also experiencing other symptoms besides bad breath. Treating the smell of your breath may require getting the medical condition under control. If one of your medications is causing dry mouth, talk to your healthcare professional about alternatives that won’t cause this problem.

Stop using tobacco products

Smoking cigarettes and using chewing tobacco or snuff can increase your risk of many serious health conditions, including:

lung cancer

mouth cancer

throat cancer

periodontal disease 🙆🙆🙆

Not only will quitting tobacco improve your breath, but it may also reduce your risk of many other health problems.

Use products that help with dry mouth

It’s important to stay well-hydrated, especially if you often experience dry mouth. You may also want to consider sleeping with a humidifier in your room if your dry mouth tends to be caused from sleeping with your mouth open.

Limiting caffeine, antihistamines, and alcohol may also help. Also, try not to use an oral rinse or mouthwash that contains alcohol. There are a number of products on the market to moisten your mouth, including rinses, chewing gums, and mouth sprays that can help replenish fluids.

The bottom line

Most bad breath issues are caused by what’s happening in your mouth or throat due to daily intake and consumption

Bacteria, gum disease, cavities, dry mouth, poorly fitting dental devices, and infections are among the leading causes of bad breath. Sometimes problems in the intestinal tract, liver, and kidneys are at the root of the problem.

To prevent or treat bad breath, practice good dental hygiene and be sure to get regular dental checkups. If your dentist can’t pinpoint the cause of your bad breath, talk to your doctor. They can help determine if your breath odor is caused by an underlying health😤😤 with this few knowledge I hope a message is passes to somebody son or daughter 🤜🤛 always stay safe because like no dey two oooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.

Still my humble self 👨‍🦰👨‍🦰
