• Poor Oral Hygiene

  The top most cause of bad breath is a dirty mouth. 90% of mouth odours come from the mouth itself; either from the food that is eaten or bacteria that’s already there. If teeth are not cleaned properly, the bacteria will build up and the stink-creating kind will stay around the tongue, churning out gases as they munch on the remaining food particles. Brushing after every meal is a must to avoid this dental problem of bad breath. Always brush for at least 2 minutes. Floss daily as well for special care.

• Dental Problems

  Gum diseases and dry mouth can lead to an increase in bacterial growth and odour. In gum diseases, the person suffering develops bloody gums, creating more elements for the bacteria to spoil. In the dry mouth condition, the saliva that helps flush out the mouth and keep the bacteria moving is missing, leading them to cause more odour.

• Medications

  Many medications can cause the mouth to become dry. Due to the lack of salvia, the foul breath creating bacteria cannot get rinsed away, causing the dental problem of bad breath.

• Illnesses

  Health problems such as bronchitis, sinusitis, and even a cold can create a bad odour. They break down the tissue, starting a flow of cells and mucus that feed bacteria which create foul odours. Diabetes can also cause ketosis and the resulting bad breath is sometimes one of first symptoms that lead to diagnosis.

• Alcohol Consumption

  Heavy alcohol consumption also can dry out the mouth and cause bad breath.

• Diet

  Low-carb diets cause your body to burn stored fats for fuel instead of carbs and release bad breathe in return. Foods high in protein or dairy products generate large amounts of amino acids, which the bacteria feed on. Thus, always remember to store up on your carbs for basic dental care.

• Stinky foods

  Food such as onions, garlic, alcohol and tobacco tend to create a horrible stench in the mouth. Avoid consuming them during the day. Always brush immediately after eating them to get rid of foul breath.
