Smells are very important. A pleasant smell can attract, an unpleasant smell can push it away. The smell from the mouth, the reason of which is not clear to everyone, can cause a person a lot of trouble. What troubles are we talking about? Yes, about the most diverse: in the family, at work, difficulties in communicating with friends. Often people do not take the bad breath seriously. The reason for it, in their opinion, is always insignificant, therefore, everything will go away by itself. In fact, everything can stretch over a very long period of time. People have been suffering from this unpleasant illness for years. It is also worth remembering that the smell from the mouth to its owner in most cases is not so noticeable.
Bad breath: reason
There are actually many reasons. It can be pathologies, or something simpler. In most cases, the dentist makes a diagnosis.
We recommend that you first pay attention to the language. It is from him that it is very easy to judge the state of the stomach. A yellow or white coating is evidence that the digestive system is not all right. In this case, you should contact a gastroenterologist who will prescribe treatment. In some cases, it will be possible to limit ourselves to an ordinary diet.
Odor from the mouth can occur due to chronic gastritis, in which acidity is reduced. This is due to the fact that with such an ailment, the body ceases to digest proteins normally. As a rule, in such cases, doctors prescribe the use of enzyme preparations.
An esophageal diverticulum can also cause an unpleasant odor. It becomes acidic with a disease of the duodenum. A similar thing happens with gastric ulcer.
Renal failure causes specific odors. It is about the smell of acetone or ammonia. Putrid breath appears with a lung abscess or with bronchiectasis. These odors are an occasion for immediate medical attention.
Often this unpleasant phenomenon occurs due to gum disease, dental deposits, interdental pockets. Caries affected by tooth decay can also cause a bad breath.
It starts to smell badly after alcohol, tobacco, onions and other things. Of course, everyone’s breathing spoils from this without exception, but some suffer from it more than others. Odor from the baby's mouth may appear due to lactic acid bacteria.
How can I get rid of it?
For home treatment, you can use the most ordinary apples. It is also very good to refresh the mouth with an infusion of dill. It is used for rinsing. Odorous foods (onions and so on) can be seized with celery or parsley root. Fresh very strong tea will also help .
In the event that the smell is caused by diseases of the oral mucosa, rinses with various infusions of herbs should be used for treatment. They will eliminate inflammation, and at the same time they will kill all the germs. What kind of infusions are we talking about? About infusions of chamomile, sage, calendula, wild strawberry and so on.
Tonsil disease is best treated with bitter wormwood infusion . Gastrointestinal diseases accompanied by flatulence can make bad breath particularly unpleasant. In this case, herbs will also help. Of course, they will have to be taken inside. Use the following infusions: parsley, anise, peppermint, dill, caraway seeds. Drink slowly in order to rinse your mouth at the same time.
Odor from the mouth, which causes digestive problems, can be eliminated with activated carbon.
Finally, I want to add that breathing becomes stale in those people who brush their teeth incorrectly or poorly. Poor toothpaste, poor-quality brushing, irregular brushing, and flossing or toothpicks can all cause bad breath problems.
