Bad breath (halitosis) can occur at the most inopportune moment. The main causes include poor oral hygiene, certain foods (onions, garlic, peppers, cheeses), smoking, dry mouth, taking certain medications (antidepressants, diet pills, antihistamines), and health problems (gingivitis, sinusitis, gastrointestinal diseases, diabetes).
What helps eliminate odor:
Oral hygiene: regularly brush your teeth and tongue, use mouthwash and dental floss.
Helpfuls:
Water - moisturizes the oral cavity, washes away bacteria.
Parsley - contains chlorophyll, eliminates odor.
Orange - stimulates salivation due to citric acid.
Brushing your tongue - removes bacteria that produce foul gases.
Cloves and other spices (anise, fennel, dill, cinnamon) — have antibacterial properties.
Sugar-free chewing gum — stimulates salivation.
Helpful tips:
Use an irrigator — removes bacteria from hard-to-reach places.
Brush your teeth after eating, but not immediately after eating acidic foods.
Disinfect toothbrushes and dentures to prevent bacteria from accumulating.
Eat regularly — prolonged fasting dries out your mouth.
Limit alcohol, coffee, smoking, cheese, and garlic consumption to avoid odor.
Choose air fresheners with chlorine dioxide and paste with green tea oil.
How to check for odor:
Smell the dental floss after use.
Wipe your tongue with a cloth and smell it.
If you suspect a problem, consult a dentist.
When to see a doctor:
If the smell persists for more than a day, despite good hygiene, it may be a sign of:
gingivitis,
gum inflammation,
gastrointestinal problems,
diabetes (sweet smell),
or other diseases.
Only a specialist can identify and eliminate the true cause of persistent bad breath.
