Halitosis / Bad Breath
Brush your teeth and rinse at least twice a day, especially after meals. Toothpaste and rinses like StellaLife® VEGA® Oral Care Rinse with antibacterial properties has been shown to reduce bad breath odors. Combine this with regular flossing, which removes food particles and plaque from between your teeth, and you should have better breath control. If you don’t already, start brushing your tongue. It harbors bacteria that can lead to bad breath. Some people experience significant bacterial overgrowth, leading to a coated tongue (from smoking or dry mouth). For dentures, clean them thoroughly at least once a day, if not twice (as directed by your dentist).
For a retainer or mouth guard, clean it with StellaLife® VEGA® Oral Care Rinse each time before you put it in your mouth and again once you pull it out. To keep your mouth properly salivated, avoid tobacco and drink plenty of water instead of soda, coffee or alcohol since these tend to dry out the mouth. It’s essential to rinse daily. A proper hygiene regimen, combined with regular dental checkups (typically twice a year), will help keep your mouth clean and healthy. Contact your dentist for more information about how to get your breath tested and improve your oral hygiene habits.
Causes of Bad Breath
Bad breath is usually caused by poor oral hygiene, mouth infections, unhealthy habits such as smoking and alcohol use, and certain foods. Other culprits include dry mouth, respiratory tract infections, systemic diseases such as diabetes, kidney, liver, and lung disease, and gastrointestinal issues, which may include acid reflux and other stomach digestion problems. If you believe you are experiencing halitosis, or bad breath, look for these signs:
- Post-nasal drip or mucus in general
- A constant sour or bitter metallic taste
- Thick saliva that causes frequent throat-clearing
- A white coating on the tongue
- Persistent dry mouth
- Buildup around the teeth and gums
If they apply to you and your bad breath persists even with proper dental hygiene and regular checkups, contact your dentist to express your concerns. If your dentist suspects a more serious condition is causing your bad breath, they may refer you to a physician to find the cause of the odor.
One of the more common causes is leftover of food in and around your teeth. Certain kinds of foods, like onions, garlic, and some vegetables, can turn your breath sour. The tongue can also trap bacteria that produce odors. If dentures aren't cleaned regularly or fit poorly, they can harbor odor-causing bacteria and food particles. Regardless of how good your oral hygiene may be after smoking, the chemicals in tobacco wreak havoc on the mouth. Smokers or smokeless tobacco users are also more likely to have gum disease. Dry mouth may be another cause of bad breath. Your own saliva acts as a natural cleanser by helping to remove food and drink particles that may cause bad odors. Most people experience a mild form of dry mouth every morning with the infamous “morning breath,” which is made worse for those who sleep with their mouths open. Daily flossing and brushing are important to getting rid of food particles around your teeth or gums. Daily rinsing 2 to 3 times per day is essential to staying hydrated, removing food particles, and killing the bacteria causing bad breath.
