A large inventory of the causes of bad breath
1. Oral diseases: People suffering from oral diseases such as dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucositis, tooth decay, periodontal disease, etc., are prone to bacteria in their mouths, especially anaerobic bacteria, which decompose and produce sulfides, emitting a putrid taste, and producing bad breath.
2. Gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, etc., may be accompanied by bad breath. Recently, we have also found that patients infected with H. pylori, which causes many stomach diseases, have a significantly higher incidence of bad breath than those who are not infected, and that the symptoms of halitosis are significantly reduced after the eradication of H. pylori.The cause may be Helicobacter pylori infection, which directly produces sulfides, causing bad breath.
3. People who smoke, drink, drink coffee, and often eat spicy and stimulating foods such as onions, garlic, and leeks, or who are fond of stinky tofu, rotten eggs and other stinky foods, are also prone to bad breath.
Fourth, dieting to lose weight, or unable to eat due to illness, or the salivary gland function of the elderly is reduced, and women have endocrine disorders during menstruation, resulting in a decrease in saliva secretion, which is conducive to the growth of anaerobic bacteria, so bad breath occurs.
