The 5 most important causes of bad breath oral

  1. Dirty mouth. Clinical studies have shown that the largest percentage of bad breath oral (87%) comes from the oral cavity and particularly from the surface of the tongueeither from the foods you eat, while only 8% comes from the stomach ,the lungs or sinuses. The smell of the mouth is like any other odor of the body – the result of microbes living in the body and releasing by-products. Food scraps are installed in the grooves and crannies of the language, degraded by bacteria and attracted to smelly gases are called "volatile sulfur compounds", the so-called odor of the breath. If you don't cleaned well the oral cavity, then the bacteria accumulate and caused intense stench.
  2. The oral cavity without balance. The state of health of the oral cavity may exacerbate the development of bacteria and odour, as, for example, gum disease and dry mouth. Gingivitis favours the decomposition of the troublesome bacteria. Dry mouth, however, is the most common cause for the stench. The saliva helps in cleaning of the oral cavity and moves the bacteria, resulting in not being able to settle down somewhere and multiply. Dry mouth is a breeding ground for the reproduction of bacteria. Especially in the spring and summer, the drugs that take a lot for allergies are on the rise in this period, they can cause dry mouth, while during the winter, the main culprit is considered to be the dry air that create the radiators and air conditioners.
  3. Foods with unpleasant smells. If the unpleasant odor inside the mouth, then the most likely is that it will grow back. Main culprits are the onions, garlic, alcohol and tobacco. And the food will not only create odors in the mouth. Vegetable oils are absorbed by the body, and the by-products enter the bloodstream. Essentially, that is, breathe in the scents through the lungs for three or four hours after.
  4. A lack of carbohydrates. Excess intake of protein and / or a lack of carbohydrates forces the body to burn the accumulated fat for energy, instead of to burn carbohydrates. This can lead, however, in a condition called ketosis. As burn the fat, ketones accumulate in the body, and some are released with the breath and for your information, the ketones are not known for the pleasant smell of them.
  5. Disease. Sometimes the bad breath it can be a sign of a serious illness. The most common cause of halitosis, in terms of the diseases, diabetes or the gastro-oesophageal reflux. Diabetes can cause ketosis, while the stench of the mouth sometimes represents one of the first symptoms that lead to diagnosis. The gastro-esophageal reflux is the return of stomach acid into the esophagus. Less common, but possible, are the diseases of the liver and kidneys – where their toxins are excreted through the lungs and cause bad breath.

Prefer best foods that help to maintain the net breathing, such as tea. The polyphenols found in tea, prevent the development of bacteria, which are responsible for bad breath. You can still chew parsley, which neutralizes unpleasant odors of other foods and bacteria. And blueberries help to neutralize bad odours and, moreover, prevent the bacteria from sticking to the oral cavity and to create fun,. Finally, sugar-free chewing gum containing xylitol can kill certain bacteria and reduce the formation of plaque.
  4. Make sure to eat carbs. It is obvious that the only way to avoid ketosis is to consume foods rich in carbohydrates. Eat, well, fruit, vegetables and cereals.
  5. If the cleaning of the language and carbohydrates I don't get the desired result, then you need to visit, first of all, your dentist to examine, whether there are cavity creeps on your teeth, or gum disease and it is only in the rare case that you don't find anything, visit a doctor to examine if there is the possibility that you are suffering from a more serious illness. Diabetes, gastro-oesophageal reflux disease and many other serious diseases require specific tests to be diagnosed and addressed.
