Natural explanation for bad breath?
Question:
Hi ..
Is there a natural explanation that I have very bad breath, and can the dentist do something to alleviate the bad breath?
I have an excellent oral hygiene and also use dental floss regularly.
Sincerely
Linda
Answer:
Dear Linda
There may be several causes of bad breath. In the jargon, we call it foetor ex ore, or halitosis. But before you seek medical attention from the bad breath, you should be aware that I did not mention the general lack of fresh breath, most of us in the morning. But severe bad breath can be a daily problem for many of us. This type of bad breath affects about. one in five of us at some point in our lives. So it is by no means an uncommon problem.
It is very annoying and may come from the oral cavity, sinuses, nose, and even from the stomach and intestines. So it would be a good idea to talk to the dentist to rule out that the smell comes from the teeth and the mucous membrane in the first place. You might want. make an inquiry of your own doctor for an ear, nose and throat doctor. If there is something wrong with the first thing you may be examined by a physician.
Hope you can use my answer.
Sincerely
