Mouth odor is damaging the teeth, learn from experts its causes and the right way to prevent it.

A good smile is needed by everyone and everyone loves the person who has a good smile. But bad breath is such a problem, which can take away the smile on your face. Imagine you are talking to your friend and suddenly you friend tells you that 'Your mouth smells bad'. Unfortunately, if such an incident happens to a person, then perhaps he will never be able to forget it in his life. Therefore, it is also necessary to take care of the mouth, so that the problem like smell never happens. Mumbai-based Dental Surgeon Dr. Kshama Chandan talks about bad mouth odor as well as its causes and ways to avoid it.

Bad breath is also a disease According to Dr. Kshama Chandan, bad breath from the mouth is a disease, which is known as Halitosis. This is usually due to years of not cleaning the mouth properly. Due to not maintaining cleanliness inside the mouth, bacteria start growing in the tongue, teeth and other parts of the mouth. When you eat food and don't clean your mouth properly after that, some food remains inside the mouth, allowing bacteria to make their food. He further explained that it is not surprising, in most cases, along with helitosis, many other problems are also found such as inflammation of the gums , periodontitis and dry mouth etc. Therefore, by visiting the dentist from time to time, these oral diseases can be detected before they progress and the bad smell of the mouth can be avoided. Diet also plays a role in bad mouth Doctors say that the popularity of low-carbohydrate diets has increased in the last few years and this is also one of the reasons for bad breath. He further said that this problem is not called "keto breath" like that. In the keto diet, the amount of carbohydrates is very less, then the body starts making energy from fat. As soon as the breakdown of fat starts, the fatty acids start converting to acetone and due to this, strange smell starts from the mouth. Wearing dentures also causes problems He further added that people who wear dentures also often face problems related to bad breath. This is because bacteria build up between the dentures and due to this, the smell starts. Not cleaning dentures from time to time and not removing them while sleeping can cause bad breath. Liver and kidney diseases can cause bad breath If a person suffers from severe kidney or liver diseases, then he may also have to face bad breath. However, along with having bad breath in the mouth, the patient may also feel many other symptoms and in such a situation, they should contact the doctor as soon as possible. Smoking and tobacco are the major causes of bad smell The doctor said that smoking cigarettes and hookah or chewing tobacco can also cause bad breath. At the same time, it leaves marks on the teeth and also damages the gums. If these symptoms are ignored, it can lead to damage to the gums that support the teeth. He further explained that the accumulation of plaque on the teeth and the formation of toxins by bacteria leads to gum diseases. Other diseases also cause stench Apart from the above reasons, there are some other diseases as well, which can cause bad breath in the mouth. There are many diseases like pneumonia, bronchitis diabetes, postnasal drip and sinus infection, which can cause bad breath in the mouth. What are the remedies to reduce bad breath Doctors say that to reduce the bad smell of the mouth, reduce the consumption of foods like garlic and onions. Along with this, eating some types of fish and meat also causes bad breath in the mouth. If you want to avoid bad breath, consuming a glass of milk with or after a meal can help reduce bad breath. Instead of drinking a cup of coffee or drinking alcohol, if you drink a glass of fresh and cold water, it will also help in removing the bad smell of your mouth. Brush your teeth twice a day with a brush and use fluoride toothpaste only.
