BAD BREATH ( Halitosis )- Causes : Facts : Cures : Resources



What is Halitosis ( Bad Breath )?

Let's first explain what halitosis is. Halitosis is the technical name for bad breath. According to the ADA, chronic bad breath effects millions of people each year. If you are one of the one's who are effected by this condition then you know how embarrassing it can be and how it may effect you self-conscience around others. In most cases bad breath is caused by the breakdown of food or other particles in the mouth or poor oral hygiene. When these particles breakdown and decay in your mouth they release a sulfur compound that is the tell-tale sign of bad breath.

Can bad breath be caused by other problems?

Halitosis can be caused by other medical conditions also, including infections, gum disease ( gingivitus ), tooth decay, diabetes, kindney failure, or liver malfunction. It can also be caused by sinus problems, xerostomia ( dry mouth ), and smoking. Additional sources include dieting, smoking, age, stress, snoring, and hormonal changes. Cancer patients may notice an increase of bad breath due to dry mouth associated with taking radiation therapy. Some instances may be caused by compounds originating from the stomach but are considered rare.

Why is saliva so important in fighting bad breath?

Saliva is like your mouth's shower. It helps to continually wash away the bacteria and particles that promote bad breath. If you've ever notice that your breath smells the worst in the morning (hence the term morning breath) it is caused by the fact that your mouth normally dries out at night letting the bacteria to flourish and grow. To combat morning breath make sure you eat breakfast and then brush your teeth thoroughly as fasting has been attributed to bad breath.

Can certain foods can help contribute to bad breath?

Foods that are very spicy like onions, garlic, horseradish and beverages like coffee may be detected on someones breath for many hours after digestion. They get absorbed and then can be excreted through your lungs.

Does regular brushing and flossing help combat bad breath?

A daily regimen of thorough brushing and flossing is highly recommended for proper oral hygiene. Regular visits to your dentist is also recommended to get your teeth cleaned. Scrapping of your tongue with a proper tongue scaper can help remove loose particles and bacteria. Using flavored mouthwashes may mask the symptons temporary but will not solve the underlying issues causing your condition. You must treat the source of the problem to get rid of bad breath.
