What Are The Causes Of Bad Breath?
Although halitosis may have multiple origins, recent studies have shown that the source of 90% of Bad Breath is due to the oral cavity. Factors such as poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease, tongue coating, food impaction and unclean dentures may all contribute. Lifestyle habits, including smoking and drinking, can also have an affect on the freshness of your breath.
Halitosis could also serve as a signifier of other more serious underlying health issues. Medical conditions such as lung infections or diabetes, and medications can can use bad breath. It is recommended to see your dentist as soon as you notice persistent bad breath that’s not going away with brushing.
What Are Different Types Of Bad Breath Smells?
Different types of bad breath smells can be associated with specific causes. For instance, a sulphuric scent may be linked to bacterial activity or a slightly sweet odour sometimes relates to metabolic conditions. Other variations may arise from dietary choices, dry mouth or underlying oral health issues like gum disease.
