Mouth odour you will all agree is very discomforting and medically is termed HALITOSIS.I believe everybody should be conscious of his/her breath and the first line of treatment should be SELF CONSCIOUSNESS.
HALITOSIS MAY BE CAUSED BY
1.food remains within tooth gsps that over time has aided bacteria growth that further increase mouth odour.Ensure proper brushing with RIGHT TOOTHBRUSH AND TOOTHPASTE and flossing .
2.Dry mouth may also make you have bad breath.The saliva serves as the mouth solvent and reduces odour.chew, drink water or eat to ensure saliva secretion.
3.Tongue brushing is very important as it helps reduce disolved food particles that adhere to the tongue and causes mouth odour.
Tongue brushing should be carefully and properly done
.
4.Presence of untreated injury in the mouth, usually a tooth decay, injury to the gum and plagues etc..adequate medicine should be taken to prevent bacteria growth in the mouth and effect quick healing of wounds.
5.presence of some disease conditions e.g sinusitis, stomach ulcer etc..This conditions should be treated and odour will disappear.
6.food or drink consumed may also cause bad breath e.g alcohol and cigarette.should be avoided.
