<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nDo you hesitate to talk to someone because of your bad breath? Are you searching for some home remedies to cure your bad breath? Then we welcome you to a blog, where you can get to know the causes and a few home remedies that will help you deal with your bad breath. Bad breath, also called halitosis, is mostly a sign of bad dental hygiene, dry mouth, or other mouth conditions.

<\/span>What Causes Bad Breath?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Following are some of the reasons for bad breath:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n
Dry mouth:<\/strong> Dry mouth can be caused by smoking or certain medicines. Your saliva helps wash your mouth; if your mouth is unable to make sufficient saliva, it can cause your breath to smell bad.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Bad oral hygiene:<\/strong> The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene. The food substances stuck in your teeth are broken down by bacteria; this action results in a bad smell.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Tonsil stones:<\/strong> Food stuck in your tonsil can harden into calcium deposits known as tonsilloliths\/tonsil stones.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Gastrointestinal reflux disease (GERD): <\/strong>A digestive disease in which the acid of the stomach returns to the food pipe (oesophagus).\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Gum disease:<\/strong> Gum disease includes gingivitis (gum inflammation), trench mouth (advanced gingivitis), and periodontitis (untreated gingivitis causes periodontitis).\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Cancer: <\/strong>Mouth cancer or cancer between your nose and mouth can also be responsible for causing bad breath.\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Diabetes<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n
Infection in the nose, throat, or lungs: <\/strong>Patients with Pneumonia cough up liquids that may smell foul.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Sjogren\u2019s syndrome: <\/strong>An autoimmune (the immune system attacks healthy cells) disease-causing dry mouth, dry skin, dry eyes, and muscle aches.\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n\n\n\n
Kidney or liver disease<\/strong>1<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

It is important to educate the patient about the need for good dental hygiene. While most people would associate bad dental hygiene and resulting halitosis with toothaches and unsightly stains, a major deterrent would be to emphasize the links between bad oral hygiene and serious medical issues like cardiovascular diseases, including myocardial infarction, stroke or endocarditis, which are precipitated by periodontitis, or periodontitis.<\/p>\n Dr. M.G. Kartheeka, MBBS, MD(Pediatrics)<\/strong><\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
