Bad breath, known as halitosis, is a dental concern that affects your confidence and communication in general. While temporary bad breath happens; it happens because of poor food choices, continuous bad breath is often a sign of underlying dental issues. At Singh Dental Care, we help patients identify the problem and provide long-term solutions for fresh breath.
What Are The Dental Reasons for Bad Breath?
1. Poor Oral Hygiene
When brushing and flossing are not done properly, food particles remain in the mouth which encourage bacterial growth. These bacteria release sulfur particles, which form a foul smell in the mouth.
2. Gum Health Issues
Bleeding gums, plaque and tartar formation create deep gingival pockets where the bacteria thrive, causing chronic bad breath.
3. Tongue Bacteria
The tongue traps food particles. Without cleaning the tongue properly, this coating on the tongue becomes a major reason for halitosis.
4. Tooth Cavities and Decay
Decayed teeth and deep cavities trap food and bacteria inside, which ultimately causes persistent bad breath and odour.
5. Dry Mouth Reasons
Saliva cleanses the mouth naturally. Saliva flow reduces due to dehydration, smoking, or medications which can worsen the bad breath situation.
How to Treat Bad Breath
Maintain Proper Oral Hygiene
> Brush twice daily with fluoride based toothpaste
> Floss at least once a day
> Always clean your tongue using a tongue scraper
Regular Dental Scaling Appointment
Professional scaling and polishing will ensure removal of plaque and tartar that cannot be cleaned at home with regular brushing.
Treat Gum Problems Early
Early treatment of gum disease prevents bacterial buildup and restores oral freshness.
Stay Hydrated and Do Not Consume Tobacco
Drink water in good amounts and avoid smoking, avoid use of tobacco which causes dryness and bad odor.
Visit Your Dentist Routinely
Routine dental checkups help in detecting tooth cavities, and any gum disease before they cause any kind of bad breath.
