People who are prone to bad breath

1. People who are easily excited, angry or depressed often have bad breath. For example, women are more likely to have bad breath during menstruation and pregnancy.

4. Digestive tract inflammation may cause bad breath, such as esophagitis, chronic gastritis, chronic enteritis, ulcerative colitis, etc. The digestive tract energy is obstructed, and bad breath is prone to occur due to the retention and reflux of intestinal contents. Patients with constipation may have bad breath because of the presence of skatole, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, etc. in the feces, which may also reflux into the mouth due to the smell.

5. Anxiety can also cause bad breath. Most patients with bad breath due to anxiety are white-collar workers. They are generally people with strong abilities and good work performance. They have high demands on themselves, are in a state of mental tension for a long time, have relatively irregular lives, and have low sleep quality. However, the situation can be alleviated through a period of psychological intervention and adjustment.

6. Liver and kidney yin deficiency is also a cause of bad breath. This situation is more common in elderly people because liver and kidney yin deficiency is more common in the elderly.

People often experience "regular bad breath" in social situations, where the odor is stronger and lasts longer than usual. Experts say that this kind of social bad breath is not entirely caused by food, but is sometimes related to a person’s life stress and psychological state.

8. Tongue coating may also cause bad breath. You can use the tongue brushing method, which is to brush the back of your tongue with a toothbrush while brushing your teeth in the morning. Or you can use the biphasic mouthwash method: that is, alternately gargle with salt water and edible vegetable oil before going to bed. Note: when gargling, it is best to tilt your head back so that the mouthwash reaches the back of the mouth. This method can make the mouthwash remaining in the mouth continue to work while you sleep.
