What are the causes
of bad breath?

Bad breath (or halitosis), can result from various factors, including:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Gum disease
  • Tooth decay
  • Dry mouth
  • Tobacco use
  • Certain foods and beverages
  • Medical conditions such as sinus infections, tonsil stones or gastrointestinal issues

The most common cause of bad breath is poor dental hygiene. If you don’t brush and floss often, the bacteria in your mouth continue to grow and sometimes only professional cleaning will be able to remove it.

What are the symptoms of halitosis?

The primary symptom of halitosis is an unpleasant odour from the mouth, which can be persistent or intermittent. Other symptoms may include a dry mouth, a coated tongue, a bad taste in the mouth, or a burning sensation on the tongue.

What are the treatment
options for bad breath?

There are numerous ways to treat bad breath:

Improved oral hygiene

Ensure that you consistently practise good oral hygiene, such as brushing your teeth at least twice a day, flossing daily and using a tongue scraper to remove bacteria buildup, which can help eliminate bad breath.

Antibacterial mouthwashes

Using a therapeutic mouthwash with antibacterial properties can help control the growth of bacteria that cause bad breath.

Professional dental cleanings

Regular dental checkups and cleanings help remove plaque and tartar buildup, which contribute to bad breath. Your dentist can also assess your oral health and recommend appropriate treatments for any underlying issues.

Addressing dental issues

Treating dental problems like gum disease or cavities is crucial for improving breath odour. In some cases, advanced gum disease may require scaling and root planing or even periodontal surgery.

Treating an underlying health condition

If bad breath is due to a medical issue like sinus infections, tonsil stones, or gastrointestinal problems, treating the underlying condition can help resolve the issue.

Adjusting medications

Some medications can cause dry mouth, which contributes to halitosis. Consult your healthcare provider if you suspect your medications may be causing the problem. They may adjust the dosage or prescribe an alternative medication.

Lifestyle changes

If you only chew sugar-free gum, quit smoking and limit the consumption of odour-causing foods and beverages like garlic, onions, and coffee can help prevent bad breath. Staying hydrated can also stimulate saliva production, which helps combat bad breath.

FAQs

The most effective treatment for bad breath depends on identifying and addressing the underlying cause. However, maintaining good oral hygiene (including regular brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning), is crucial.

Permanently getting rid of bad breath requires addressing the underlying cause, maintaining good oral hygiene, and adopting healthy habits. Consistently brush and floss your teeth, clean your tongue, attend regular dental checkups, stay hydrated, and limit odour-causing foods, tobacco, and alcohol.

The breath may still smell bad after brushing due to lingering bacteria, food particles, or an underlying issue such as gum disease, tooth decay, or a medical condition. Ensure you're using proper brushing and flossing techniques and consult a dental professional if the problem persists.

To check if your breath stinks, try licking your wrist, allowing it to dry, and then smelling the area. Alternatively, ask a trusted friend or family member for honest feedback. Regular dental checkups can also help identify and address any potential issues.

For the best tooth-brushing technique, hold the toothbrush at a 45-degree angle to the gumline, use gentle, circular motions to clean all surfaces of each tooth, and brush for two minutes. Don't forget to brush your tongue to remove bacteria and freshen your breath.

For the best flossing technique, use an 18-inch piece of floss, wrap it around your middle fingers, and gently glide it between your teeth in a C-shape, following the curves of your teeth. Be sure to floss below the gum line and use a clean section of floss for each tooth.

Most mouthwashes do not cause bad breath and most even help combat it. However, alcohol-based mouthwashes can contribute to dry mouth, which may exacerbate bad breath. Opt for an alcohol-free, antibacterial mouthwash to help maintain fresh breath and oral health.
