Do You Have a Bad breath...? Time to Get It Checked.

Bad breath = Halitosis

There are variety of factors which are responsible for causing bad breath...

1) Foods: Onion, garlic, and spicy foods etc

2) Smoking or tobacco chewing

3) Poor oral hygiene :              

When a person does not brush or floss regularly, food particles remaining in the mouth can rot and cause bad odors. Poor dental care can lead to a buildup of plaque in the mouth, which causes an odor of its own. Plaque buildup can also lead to periodontal (gum) disease. The mild form of gum disease is called Gingivitis; if Gingivitis is not treated, it can advance to Periodontitis.

4) Deep cavities: which causes food accumulation and bad breath

5) Medical conditions: Sinusitis,  Bronchitis, Postnasal drip, Diabetes etc

6) Dry mouth: because of inadequate food intake, medications etc

So whenever u feel u have a bad breath....Consult a dentist as soon as possible...Don't forget early diagnosis is very much important.
