1, oral diseases
Bad breath is mostly related to oral diseases, such as calculus and food residue accumulation, periodontitis or gingivitis, gingival bleeding and so on. Food residues left in the mouth and teeth will be decomposed by bacteria in the mouth, resulting in pungent smell and bad breath.
2. Gastrointestinal diseases
Suffering from gastrointestinal diseases, spleen and stomach weakness, indigestion, will lead to excessive food accumulation in the stomach. Food will produce sour taste after fermentation, which will cause bad breath.
3. Respiratory diseases
Bad breath may also be related to respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, pharyngitis and pneumonia, or rhinitis and tonsillitis.
4, metabolic system diseases or blood system diseases
People with diabetes will be thirsty and drink more and eat more. If the blood sugar has not been controlled, it may cause ketoacidosis, which may cause bad breath. In addition, thrombocytopenic purpura, leukemia and agranulocytosis are easy to cause gum bleeding and gum swelling and pain, and often cause bad breath due to combined infection.
1, refuse to smoke
Smoking not only damages the lungs, but also causes bad breath. There are too many harmful substances in lit cigarettes, which combine into tar. Some tar is inhaled into the lungs, some is exhaled through the mouth or nose, and the rest remains in the mouth. Tar gives off a pungent smell. Although you can't feel it yourself, others can smell it as soon as you open your mouth. When tobacco burns, it will also produce high temperature and harmful substances, which will directly damage the oral mucosa and throat mucosa, and then cause bad breath, so quit smoking.
2, regulate the stomach
Because stomach diseases can also cause bad breath, it is necessary to regulate the stomach and actively treat stomach diseases, which can promote the recovery of gastrointestinal function. Always pay attention to a light diet, drink plenty of water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables, especially foods containing crude fiber, such as citrus fruits, apples, celery, etc. Refuse to eat indigestible and greasy food, or eat food that is too cold and irritating.
3. Pay attention to oral hygiene
It is very important to develop the good habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, rinse your mouth in time after meals, especially before going to bed, and master the correct brushing method. Washing your teeth once every 6 months can remove dental calculus in time and do a good job in oral health care. Treat all kinds of oral diseases as soon as possible. Because food residues will adhere to the tongue, you should clean your tongue and brush your tongue when brushing your teeth. In addition, you can chew fresh orange peel or eat kumquat, which contains essential oil and vitamin C, which can play a role in moistening the throat and promoting salivation, and can also alleviate the problem of bad breath.
