Although it is said that bad breath is very common and the incidence of bad breath is also high, many people do not know that there are actually many types of bad breath, and different types of bad breath are treated in different ways. To cure the disease, we should find the cause and prescribe the right medicine. The following is an analysis of the causes of bad breath.
1. Oral decay type: There are long-term caries, acute and chronic periodontitis, acute and chronic gingivitis, acute and chronic oral mucositis, etc. There are a large number of pathogenic bacteria in the oral cavity, which decompose and produce spoilage. It emits sulfur dioxide or hydrogen sulfide, or other putrid smells, so the breath is sour.
2. Gastrointestinal disease type (causing gastrointestinal upset and bad breath): Patients often have peptic ulcers, functional dyspepsia, chronic gastritis, etc. These patients have a large number of bacteria in the digestive tract, and the intima of the digestive tract has ulcers. At the same time, due to the poor gastrointestinal motility of these patients, some food accumulates in the ulcer, which is difficult to discharge downward, and accumulates for a long time to produce waste gas. At the same time, normal people’s stomach qi mainly descends, but such patients’ stomach qi not only fails to descend, but goes up against it, resulting in bad breath. For example, it has been clinically found that the incidence of halitosis in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection is significantly higher than that in patients without Helicobacter pylori infection, so the elimination of Helicobacter pylori is an indispensable method for the treatment of halitosis.
3. Constipation and bad breath: The patient has severe constipation and long-term poor defecation. This leads to the accumulation of feces in the large intestine. Due to the low frequency of defecation, the difficulty of defecation, and the obstruction of abdominal gas, the sour and rotten gas of the feces ascends and manifests as bad breath.
What are the causes of bad breath. It can be seen that some are caused by a certain oral disease, and some are caused by a poor digestive system. Many patients will find a way to treat themselves when they find that they have bad breath. In fact, only by going to a regular dental hospital can you find the most suitable your treatment.
