Mr. Wang, 27 years old, is over 1.8 meters tall and very handsome. Logically speaking, Mr. Wang should be a standard "winner in life" script. However, he has a shortcoming that will plummet others' impression, and that is "bad breath."
Some friends may say that it’s just bad breath and it just needs to be brushed more often. But in fact, Mr. Wang has used no less than a dozen types of toothpastes, including medicated toothpastes, flavored toothpastes, etc., but none of them have been able to suppress his bad breath. Even because of this shortcoming, Mr. Wang's two girlfriends were ruined, so he cried very much.
There is a bad smell when you open your mouth? Is it because your teeth are not brushed clean?
Many people may have a similar experience to Mr. Wang. Every time he talks to others, a very strong smell will appear in his mouth. Sometimes I can smell it, which is very embarrassing and embarrassing.
So, is this related to not brushing your teeth thoroughly? The answer is related, but it is not the only reason.
In the process of daily eating, such as meat residues, plant fibers , etc., may get stuck in the gaps between teeth and caries small holes during the chewing process. These locations are dead spots in the mouth. If you don’t brush your teeth carefully and the dead spots are not cleaned properly, these food residues will rot and cause you to have very obvious bad breath.
Friends who suspect that it is caused by brushing your teeth may wish to try:
After brushing your teeth, use your fingers to gently scrape the corners of the back molars and molars. If there is an unpleasant smell on your fingers, it means that It is most likely caused by rotten food residues. You need to do a better job cleaning when brushing your teeth in the future.
However, in addition to unclean brushing, some dental diseases will aggravate the accumulation of food residues and cause bad breath:
such as dental caries, periodontal disease , black hairy tongue disease, oral necrosis, gum recession causes the gaps between teeth to become larger, etc. . In the daily diet process, compared with other people, it is more likely to cause residues to remain, and then rot and breed to form odor. If you want to completely solve the problem of bad breath, it is also very important to treat dental diseases in time.
However, some friends did not smell any obvious odor after lightly scraping their teeth, but they still always have bad breath when they open their mouths. At this time, you can't just limit yourself to the "teeth", but look for the cause below the mouth. .
Have healthy and clean teeth but still have bad breath? Be wary of these three diseases
Throat diseases
For example, maxillitis, tonsillitis , and pharyngitis etc. Inflammation occurs in the throat, causing tissue ulceration and pus discharge. Pungent odors will also be emitted. In addition, inflammation itself can stimulate an increase in oral secretions, exacerbating bad breath.
If you have frequent bad breath in daily life, accompanied by throat swelling and pain, a thick neck, and excessive phlegm, you may have a throat disease, and you should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
Excessive gastric acid secretion
Gastric acid is the digestive juice used in the stomach to digest food. Too little gastric acid secretion can easily lead to indigestion, bloating and abdominal pain.
However, if there is too much gastric acid secretion, the food will be corroded to a high degree in the large amount of gastric acid, and more gas will be produced. The gas may travel along the esophagus to the mouth, causing bad breath.
Under the premise of having bad breath for a long time, please be vigilant if is accompanied by stomach pain, vomiting and other typical symptoms of excessive gastric acid secretion.Reduce alcohol intake in life, avoid spicy food intake, and eat more vegetables and fruits appropriately; in terms of drugs, such as ranitidine , omeprazole, etc. can also inhibit gastric acid production, but they need to be under the supervision of a doctor Take.
Intestinal Helicobacter pylori infection
According to survey statistics, about 50% of people in our country are infected with Helicobacter pylori. When Helicobacter pylori reproduces in the intestine, it will form smelly carbide gas. This carbide Part of the gas will be expelled from the intestines, commonly known as "fart".
And some of them may follow regurgitation or burping and come into the mouth and form bad breath.
Under normal circumstances, people infected with Helicobacter pylori may be complicated by a series of symptoms such as gastritis, constipation, gastric ulcer and so on. If you have friends with such symptoms, please be vigilant.
However, not all people infected with Helicobacter pylori have bad breath. If they usually pay attention to gargling and brushing their teeth, the bad breath will not be too obvious.
In short, although the problem of bad breath is common, it is not necessarily caused by brushing or teething. The right choice and approach is to deal with or treat different symptoms according to your own situation.
