Hello. Halitosis, also called as bad breath, is caused due to various reasons. The most common cause of halitosis is bad oral hygiene, which includes gingivitis (inflammation and bleeding of gums), periodontitis.
If particles of food are left in the mouth, their breakdown by bacteria produces sulfur compounds. Kindly undergo Scaling and Polishing treatment.
Scaling is a professional teeth cleaning treatment, in which the stains and calculus (tartar) are removed from under the gums. This treatment not only keeps your teeth clean, but also keeps your gums healthy, firm and cures bad breath problems.
Other reasons for halitosis are dehydration, dry mouth, Nose and throat infections, Smoking and Tabaco consumption, systemic illness.
Kindly visit a dentist for definitive diagnosis and treatment
Maintain proper oral hygiene. Brush twice daily using the correct brushing technique. Use a floss. Rinse after every meal. Maintain proper tongue hygiene. Drink adequate amount of water throughout the day.
