There are many reasons for bad breath. Not paying attention to oral hygiene is one of the main reasons, followed by oral problems, such as bleeding, dental calculus, gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, insufficient saliva secretion, etc. will cause bad breath. In addition, other non-oral problems, such as chronic gastritis, gastric ulcer, tonsillitis, rhinitis, cholecystitis, etc., including constipation may also cause bad breath.

1. Unclean oral hygiene

When oral cavity cleaning is not in place, food residues will have a lot of opportunities to be decomposed and spoiled by bacteria, resulting in odor. In the long run, bad breath is difficult to get rid of.

2. Oral bleeding

Bleeding in the mouth causes bacteria to grow and produce bad breath. Clean saliva has certain self-cleaning and disinfection capabilities, and oral bleeding causes pollution to the saliva, leading to the proliferation of bacteria in the oral cavity. Bacteria multiply and metabolize to produce off-flavor substances to form bad breath.

3. Oral diseases

Including gingivitis, dental plaque, periodontitis, oral ulcers, abscesses, etc., it will form peculiar smell substances, such as pus, plaque, etc. which cause bad breath; in addition, these inflammation problems can cause a large number of bacteria in the oral cavity to multiply and cause bad breath ;

4. Non-oral problems

Diseases such as constipation, gastritis and rhinitis can also cause bad breath. Stomach diseases such as gastritis and gastric ulcer are caused by Helicobacter pylori. This bacteria itself has a serious peculiar smell. The peculiar smell is emitted from the mouth through the digestive tract and forms bad breath; while rhinitis, tonsillitis, cholecystitis, etc. will produce fishy substances , Such as thick sputum and pus, can also cause bad breath.
