Worried About Bad Breath? Bad Breath Is Severe? (Causes of Halitosis and How to Get Rid of It)

Bad breath is severe!

Causes and removal of halitosis

Solving your bad breath concerns

For people living in modern society, coffee has become an essential drink, and as taste-based items like tobacco and alcohol have become more accepted, and situations where you cannot brush your teeth right away arise, concerns about halitosis and bad breath are also increasing.

More than 90% of the causes of this halitosis and bad breath are related to factors inside the mouth.

So halitosis can be resolved by focusing on oral hygiene management.

How should you manage it?

How to remove halitosis

• Brushing your teeth

The bacteria living in the mouth become active when we eat food.

They break down food left in the mouth and release hydrogen sulfide, which often causes bad breath.

Therefore, to remove halitosis, you need to brush your teeth properly.

• Removing tongue coating

Tongue coating consists of food residue that remains on the tongue and helps the bacteria living in the mouth become active.

The deposits left on the tongue as bacteria become active are tongue coating. If bad breath continues even though you brush your teeth well, you can try removing tongue coating to eliminate halitosis.

• Removing tonsil stones

The yellow pellets that you sometimes cough up and spit out, are also formed by food residue and bacterial activity.

When these clump together and get lodged in the tonsils, that is a tonsil stone. If you still have bad breath even after removing tongue coating, try removing tonsil stones to eliminate halitosis.

• Others

Other methods you can try include: Replacing oral hygiene products. Using mouthwash. Taking oral probiotics. Quitting smoking and drinking.

These are some things you can try. If your bad breath still does not go away, I will explain how it can be treated at the dentist.

• Treating cavities

Because bacterial activity releases hydrogen sulfide, the first priority for eliminating bad breath is removing bacteria.

If you have cavities, the bacteria that live in the cavities can cause bad breath.

Therefore, the first way to remove bad breath at the dentist is cavity treatment.

Treating cavities is necessary not only to eliminate bad breath but also to preserve natural teeth, and because inflammation can occur if things go wrong, any cavities you find should not be left untreated.

• Scaling

If plaque and tartar are left untreated for a long time, they can cause bad breath.

Therefore, the second way to remove bad breath at the dentist is scaling.

Scaling removes plaque and tartar and helps prevent periodontal disease, so it is recommended that you receive it regularly, not only to eliminate bad breath but also for your oral health.

• Correcting malocclusion

If malocclusion is severe enough to require treatment, it can cause dry mouth and increase how often food gets trapped, which raises the likelihood of plaque formation and periodontal disease, and can therefore be a cause of bad breath.

Therefore, the third way to remove bad breath at the dentist is orthodontic treatment.

Orthodontic treatment is not limited to conventional wire bracket braces; there are also clear aligners that are barely noticeable at all, allowing orthodontic treatment with greater convenience and excellent aesthetics.

Causes outside the mouth

Although more than 90% of bad breath is caused by factors inside the mouth, non-oral causes account for 10%, so if you tried the methods for removing bad breath at the dentist and still failed to get rid of it, I will introduce causes outside the scope of dental treatment.
