Overview

 

Store shelves are overflowing with mints, mouthwashes and other products designed to help people with bad breath. Yet these products help control bad breath (halitosis) only temporarily. And, they actually may be less effective than simply rinsing your mouth with water after brushing and flossing your teeth.

Certain foods, health conditions and habits are among the causes of bad breath. In many cases, you can improve bad breath with proper dental hygiene. But, if simple self-care techniques don't solve the problem, you may want to see your dentist or doctor to rule out a more serious condition.




Causes

 

Most adults suffer from bad breath occasionally, although it may affect up to a quarter of adults on a regular basis. Bad breath is usually brought on by the breakdown of proteins by bacteria somewhere in the mouth. However, there are several other possible causes that affect the airways, oesphagus and stomach that can also lead to bad breath.

Factors that affect the mouth and cause bad breath

  • Dental decay.
  • Gum disease.
  • Food stagnation between the teeth.
  • Dry mouth.
  • Excessive bacterial activity on the tongue, possibly due to postnasal drip (catarrh coming down the back of the throat from the sinuses and nasal passages).
  • Throat or tonsil infection.
  • Catarrh.

Factors that affect the airways and cause bad breath

  • Sinusitis.
  • Polyps.
  • Dryness.
  • Foreign body.
  • Hindered air or mucus flow.
  • Bronchitis.
  • Pneumonia.
  • Bronchiectasis (dilation of the bronchi of the lungs, usually from previous infection).

Factors that affect the oesphagus and stomach and cause bad breath

  • Gastritis and food reflux.
  • Food stagnation.
  • Gastritis and food reflux.
  • Food stagnation.
