Bad breath or mouth odour (also known as halitosis or malodor) can be very embarrassing and tough on those around you.
Millions of people suffer from mouth odour without even realizing it because people are afraid to tell them. It is not very often that you have a friend who will be bold enough to tell you that your breathe is exuding an offensive odour.
A lot of times they do not want you to feel embarrassed and they will rather endure the odour than tell you or even in a subtle way try to offer you solutions.
Bad breath is often caused by a buildup of bacteria in your mouth that causes inflammation and gives off noxious odours. When you don’t brush or floss regularly, bacteria accumulate on the bits of food left in your mouth and between your teeth. The compounds released by these bacteria make your breathe smell.
For some people, mouth odour is a problem that only rears its ugly head in limited situations, such as when you get out of bed in the morning or after eating pungent food. For some others, it is a problem that is ever-present, no matter whether they brush and floss their teeth, rinse with mouthwash or suck on mints.
Chronic bad breath can profoundly affect a person’s self-esteem and daily life, even to the extent that that person may isolate himself for fear of embarrassment.
A number of things can cause mouth odour and they include: dental cavities, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, coated tongue (a white or yellow coating on the tongue, usually due to inflammation). These are among the most common.
Other causes may include dry mouth, infections such as sore throat or sinusitis, or intestinal disorders, such as heartburn, ulcers, and lactose intolerance.
Food and drink, such as garlic, onions, coffee, and alcohol, can temporarily cause bad breath. Smokers also suffer from it.
Whatever the cause, all hope is not lost as there are ways to solve mouth odour problem. It involves correcting the underlying disorder. Below are solutions to mouth odour.
