Causes of bad breath
Bad breath may be due to a number of reasons such as poor dental hygiene, bacteria in the mouth, infections, diabetes, drugs, gum disease, the accumulation of heavy metals, liver disease , smoking, sulfur, and tooth decay.

Bad breath is caused by anaerobic bacteria that live in the surface of the tongue and throat, that produce smelly sulfur compounds when they come into contact with proteins that cause bad breath.

Plaque on the tongue can cause bad breath where bacteria can grow. If you do not clean your mouth after consuming alcoholic beverages, chewing tobacco smoke cigarettes, and foods like onions, garlic, etc. it can contribute to bad breadth. A deficiency in vitamin B and / or zinc may also become the cause of your bad breath.

The symptoms of bad breath
White or yellow on the language of the film, post nasal drainage, white nodules on the tonsils, mouth dry and bitter, sour or metallic taste are some of the most common symptoms.

1. One of the most common symptoms, the film is due to nasal mucosa and the accumulation of bacteria on the tongue especially the back. Removing it is not the solution that the bacteria are found throughout the mouth and saliva. papillae longer or more (also called papillae) in some traps more bacteria. People suffering from post nasal (mucous) drainage tend to have these films on the tongue.

2. Post Nasal due to causes of sinus drainage and allergies, where a thick mucous drains into the throat or nasal sinus areas, which usually contain bacteria and proteins. These proteins break down into amino acids that promote bacterial growth and also protect the mucosal bacteria from oxygen resulting from the bacteria that cause bad breath. This causes the person to clear his throat frequently. Hydro Pulse sinus irrigator and Breathe-Ease XL Saline Powder assist in reducing drainage.

3. Tonsils secrete white smelly nodules that typically pass unnoticed because they are swallowed, but we notice that when they log out. They may be 1 mm to 4 mm in size and can be noticed that when placed at the entrance of the nostrils. By removing the tonsils themselves would not be a solution in many cases.

4. dry mouth or xerostomia is a major cause of halitosis due to aging, medications, insufficient fluid intake. Dry mouth causes concentration of bacteria in the saliva that readily evaporate resulting in stronger bad breath. It also changes the acid / base balance in the mouth promote bacterial growth. Less saliva causes accumulation of more bacteria and cellular debris.

5. bad taste as bitter, acid or even metallic taste in the mouth are due to drainage in the sinuses, dry mouth drug, dental infections or oral bacteria. Dry mouth is the main cause of bad tastes. However, not all causes of bad taste to produce bad breath, bad tastes as a symptom may be misleading sometimes.
