What is it about brushing your teeth every day and having bad breath

The occurrence of bad breath has caused great trouble to people, such a disease makes people very inferior, and also affects people's normal communication, why brush their teeth every day, or have bad breath? Patients with bad breath must be treated symptomatically in combination with their own conditions, so we should not ignore the treatment of bad breath, early detection and early treatment is the key to recovery, but before treatment, we must first understand the cause of our bad breath.

Causes of bad breath

One. 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 the oral cavity, especially anaerobic bacteria, which decompose and produce sulfides, emitting a putrid taste, and producing bad breath.

Two. 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 problems, 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.

Three. People who smoke, drink, drink coffee, and often eat spicy and stimulating foods such as onions, garlic, and leeks, or who are addicted to stinky tofu, rotten eggs, and other smelly foods are also prone to bad breath.

Four. Dieting to lose weight, or not being able to eat due to illness, or decreased salivary gland function in the elderly, or decreased saliva secretion due to endocrine disorders during menstruation in women, is conducive to the growth of anaerobic bacteria, so bad breath occurs.

Five. Bad breath in young girls: Some women in the adolescent period have ovarian insufficiency and low levels of sex hormones, and the resistance of oral tissues decreases, and they are susceptible to infection with germs and produce bad breath.

Six. Drugs that can reduce saliva secretion, such as certain sedatives, antihypertensive drugs, atropine drugs, diuretics, and traditional Chinese medicine with warming and tonic effects.

Seven. Diabetic ketoacidosis, hepatic coma, and some respiratory diseases such as bronchitis, bronchiectasis, sinusitis, pharyngitis, tonsillitis, lung cysts, etc., may also cause bad breath.

Eight. Long-term constipation will cause symptoms of bad breath, bloating, loss of appetite, irritability and other autotoxic symptoms due to the inability to discharge harmful substances produced in the body in time and be absorbed into the bloodstream.

Nine. Dinner is too "heavy", eating too much or eating too much meat, greasy food or too much hot and irritating seasoning, too much aroma and lightness, too short time between dinner and sleep, too much food in the stomach when sleeping, etc.

Ten. Excessive psychological stress and frequent mental stress lead to the parasympathetic nervous system in the body in a state of excitement, and the digestive glands, especially the salivary glands, are reflexively reduced, resulting in dry mouth, which is conducive to the growth of anaerobic bacteria and produces bad breath.

Eleven. Mental factors. There was no bad breath, and the doctor and others could not smell the smell, but the patient insisted that he smelled bad breath and "discovered" that others "always avoided me", "did not associate with me", and "stayed away from me when talking". They have neurotic, obsessive-compulsive tendencies, and are more common in hypochondriacal neurosis. The psychology of such patients is very painful, so I hope that everyone will not discriminate against them, care more about them, and give them confidence.

Prevention and treatment of bad breath

First of all, pay great attention to oral hygiene, brush your teeth and rinse your mouth carefully every morning, before going to bed and after meals, and if necessary, gently brush your tongue with a toothbrush or a clean towel.

Secondly, quit smoking and drinking; eat a relatively light diet, avoid eating cold, irritating, smelly (such as garlic, green onions, leeks, stinky tofu, etc.) and indigestible, greasy (high-protein, high-fat) food; chew slowly when eating; drink plenty of water, eat more vegetables, fruits and legumes; live a regular life and rest routine, keep a good mood, and participate in more physical exercise.Traditional Chinese medicine believes that bad breath belongs to the "heat" of the gastrointestinal tract, so it is recommended that bad breath should be eaten as little as possible to help heat and dissipate cold, and eat some heat-clearing foods to eliminate heat in moderation.

Brushing your teeth carefully can also prevent bad breath

Experts propose the "three, three, three" of brushing teeth, that is, brushing teeth three times a day, at least three minutes each time, and brushing teeth within three minutes after eating, which has some truth. Friends with bad breath should first pay attention to improving their oral hygiene. Some people propose the "three, three, three" of brushing teeth, that is, brushing teeth three times a day, at least three minutes each time, and brushing teeth within three minutes after eating, which has some truth.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to the choice of toothbrush and the method of brushing: toothbrushes usually choose soft-bristled health care toothbrushes, and brush vertically when brushing, that is, the bristles and the long axis of the teeth are parallel, which is not only conducive to removing plaque and soft scale of teeth, but also prevents the occurrence of diseases such as gum recession, tooth root exposure, and wedge defects in the tooth neck.

On the basis of paying attention to oral hygiene, you should also go to the hospital for stomatology examination and necessary treatment for some common diseases in the oral cavity. Such as scraping off tartar and scale, mending caries and so on. Over time, most bad breath improves.

The treatment of bad breath is a difficult problem, and some people do not get better after a long time of treatment. Bad breath isn't life-threatening, but it's bothersome. Not only is it an unhealthy condition, but it can also affect the patient's social interaction and mental health.
