How to Get Rid of Bad Breath before No One Wants to Talk to You

For each of us, BadBreath is something undesirable. It not only destroys

confidence, but sometimes also causes bad personality while talking to others. Bad breath may be caused by some factors inside or outside the mouth. However, 80-90% of bad breath cases is caused by disorders inside the mouth. These include a white buildup of debris on the tongue, bacterial plaque, and plaque on teeth or in tooth roots, especially the one located deep down the gumline. The external factors mostly come from the respiratory system and digestive system, which cause bad smell from the throat.

Key to treat bad breath is getting rid of everything that causes the disorder. The problem is that it may be hard to know what is causing the bad breath, and if it occurs in the mouth or not. Nowadays, a device to measure bad breath is available. It determines the type and amount of bad breath, or the gas that causes bad breath. There are three gases that cause bad breath, which are hydrogen sulfide, methyl mercaptan, and dimethyl sulfide. These gases can occur and exist in the mouth. If the cause of bad breath is inside the mouth, the level of hydrogen sulfide or methyl mercaptan will be high. On the other hand, if the bad breath is caused by the respiratory system or digestive system, the level of dimethyl sulfide will be high.

To treat bad breath, it is vital to specify the cause first to get rid of it. If there is a disease, whether it is from inside or outside the mouth, that disease must be treated first. If the disease has already been treated but the bad breath persists, the daily habits must be changed. The doctor needs to interview the patient and carefully analyze the details. Therefore, those suffering from bad breath are recommended to come to receive a diagnosis with the bad breath tester to determine if the bad breath really exists. That is because some patients mistakenly think that they have bad breath. However, if the bad breath does exist, whether it comes from inside or outside the mouth, after identifying the cause, the dentist will be able to precisely treat the bad breath in the next step
