The reasons for bad breath


One. Oral disease: People with dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucositis, and tooth decay, periodontal disease and other oral diseases, the oral content of the growth of bacteria, particularly anaerobic bacteria, which decompose to produce the sulfide, the flavor issue of corruption, and have bad breath.
II. Gastrointestinal tract diseases such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, etc., may be associated with bad breath. Recently, we also found that Helicobacter pylori causes many stomach diseases, infection, bad breath were significantly higher than their non-infected persons, and Eradication of Helicobacter Pylori, the bad breath symptoms relieved. Helicobacter pylori infection may be due to sulfide directly, causing bad breath.
III. Smoking, drinking, and regular coffee and eat onions, garlic, leeks and other spicy foods, or hobbies stinky, rotten eggs and other people with the smell of food, but also prone to bad breath.
IV. Dieting to lose weight, or illness can not eat, or salivary gland function to reduce the elderly, women during the menstrual endocrine disorder caused by reduced secretion of saliva, is conducive to growth of anaerobic bacteria, the occurrence of bad breath.
Five. Girl bad breath: Some women in puberty, ovarian dysfunction, low sex hormone levels, decreased resistance to oral tissue, easily infected with bacteria resulting in bad breath.
Bad breath can be due to poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease, dry mouth disease, smoking, illness, or eating a particular food production. When poor oral hygiene, periodontal disease or lack of saliva, and bacteria accumulate, the halitosis occurs, saliva washes away food debris and bacteria for the purpose is necessary, certain drugs, such as high blood pressure, psychiatric drugs or specific diseases may also cause dry mouth disease, occasional nasal or respiratory tract infection, can also cause bad breath, if bad breath persists, you can check to see if your dentist and dental-related diseases.
American Medical Website "Web MD" recently reported, the latest research indicates that nine factors that increase people's risk of periodontal disease or tooth loss risk, including age over 35 years old, male, professional dental care has never done, never used toothbrush, smoking (either now or ever), diabetes, hypertension, and rheumatoid arthritis. The study done by the Organization Department of Health, Kuwait.

The researchers said that periodontal disease is the main cause of tooth loss; men than women prone to tooth loss; 35 years of age were also more likely to tooth loss; about 3 / 10 of the respondents smoke or smoking history; 40 % of people had never done a professional dental examination, only 13% said they had extraction done the first 6 months of dental care; nearly 1 / 5 of people with type 2 diabetes; more than 1 / 10 people have high blood pressure.
