Causes of Bad Breath

There are many causes of bad breath, including oral hygiene and oral diseases that are well known to people, but there is another factor that is more harmful and not well known to people, that is, gastrointestinal diseases.

There are three main causes of bad breath:

The first is that food residues ferment in the mouth and form putrefaction. For example, if you have tooth decay or don’t brush your teeth before going to bed;

The second type is inflammation in the mouth, such as periodontitis, gingivitis, etc. Both of these causes of bad breath are temporary, with clear causes and easy solutions;

The third cause of bad breath is what people often call "stomach heat and stomach fire". This cause is the most troublesome. No matter brushing your teeth frequently, drinking herbal tea, or purging fire and clearing the stomach and intestines, it is of no avail. Many people have long-term bad breath because of this and it is difficult to treat.

The fourth reason is that some people who wear dentures do not pay attention to the cleaning of their dentures, which will cause odor in their mouths. This is the most common cause of bad breath. Some people have special food habits and they particularly like to eat garlic, onions, etc., which will cause unpleasant odors in their mouths and stomachs.

It's easy to get bad breath, but it's hard to cure it.

You can try taking drugs such as dopantol maleate, Baohe Pills, Jinshuangqi Capsules for treatment. You should pay attention to drinking more boiled water, eating more easily digestible foods, and be careful not to eat barbecued, fried, spicy and other foods. At the same time, be sure to drink more milk and eat more lemons to prevent bad breath.
