Bad Breath
Bad breath is known medically as halitosis. It pertains to bad odour emanating from an individual's oral cavity, usually as a result of poor hygiene, certain diets, or bacterial infections.
Causes:
Bad breath can be attributed to numerous possible causes.
- A person's dietary intake has been known to produce bad breath. Ingesting onions, garlic, and other foods with pungent oils will cause halitosis.
- Other causes include: poor dental hygiene; certain underlying dental conditions such as plaque and gingivitis; a dry mouth low in saliva; smoking tobacco; plus some diseases such as chronic lung infections, lung abscesses, and mouth, throat, and nose infections.
Signs and Symptoms:
- Bad breath is itself a symptom.
- It usually manifests as an unpleasant smell or repulsive odour from an individual's mouth or oral cavity.
- Bad breath can be detected when an affected individual speaks or breathes close to another person.
Diagnosis:
Bad breath can be easily diagnosed through its symptoms. Persistent bad breath may need further diagnostic tests to determine the exact dental or medical cause.
Treatment:
Most cases of bad breath can be cured through improvements in the affected individual's dental hygiene. However, in cases where bad breath is a symptom of some underlying dental or medical condition, treatment efforts must be targeted at treating those conditions first.
