How to tell if you have bad breath? How to eliminate halitosis quickly.

    Students, today, little doctor Shutai will teach you how to distinguish your bad breath. Here are some problems related to bad breath in life.

How do you know if you have bad breath? Why is halitosis good and bad? How to eliminate halitosis? Is halitosis where to have what disease? How can I help him with bad breath?

Halitosis is a kind of very high-quality odor, which can affect a person's interpersonal communication and emotional communication, and even cause certain psychological barriers.

Halitosis is particularly common... From 16% in Tanzania, the lowest, to 82% in Switzerland, the highest. It may be due to the survey method. The prevalence rates are different all over the world. A survey of 2000 people in 2006 showed that the prevalence of halitosis reached 26%. In fact, most studies believe that the older the age, the higher the prevalence of halitosis. However, the relationship between halitosis and gender is still inconclusive. Most studies have found that men and women stink as well.

There are many classification methods for halitosis, such as true halitosis, false halitosis, halitosis phobia, oral non oral halitosis, physiological and pathological halitosis, etc.

Today we are roughly divided into two categories:

What you can deal with, what you can't deal with.

1、 Bad breath you can handle

There are a lot of bacteria in the mouth, one of which is the "odor producing bacteria", which is the main culprit of halitosis. Odor bacteria can decompose and digest the retained substances in the mouth to produce volatile sulfide, namely halitosis gas. Specifically, the composition is a little similar to that of fart.

To deal with halitosis, we should focus on "eliminating odor bacteria"

First, make them homeless. It's too simple. Physical attacks such as brushing teeth, flossing and brushing tongue coating are natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis for odor bacteria.

Therefore, the study found that the prevalence of halitosis in people who brush their teeth more than twice a day is much lower than those who brush their teeth less than twice a day, and brushing tongue coating can reduce the concentration of halitosis gas in their mouth by 35-56%.

Then, let the stink bug famine. How can we feed and drink enough while starving stinky bacteria? Gargle quickly after eating. Or they'll be able to nibble at your lunch crumbs all day. It's also a good way to stimulate saliva secretion by chewing sugar free gum after meals.

Running water is not rotten. People can secrete 1.5L of saliva a day. In this way, the food collected by stink fungi is washed away.

This is also the reason why I wake up in the morning and feel bad breath is particularly obvious - after people fall asleep, the secretion of saliva is very weak, which is equivalent to bacteria holding your last night's dinner residue gnawing all night, puffing fart, the next morning does not smell strange.

Next, medicate the stink bug.

drink tea! Unexpectedly, in fact, tea polyphenols can inhibit the growth and odor producing ability of odor bacteria. No wonder a lot of uncles take a sip of tea and smoke... They are really old drivers... Maybe they also found out, so the bad breath will be lighter.

Use mouthwash containing antibacterial ingredients.

Some mouthwashes contain antibacterial ingredients, which can inhibit or kill odor bacteria. However, this kind of mouthwash must be selected under the guidance of a doctor and cannot be used for a long time.

Finally, at this point, the stinky bacteria are almost dead. At this time, we should pay special attention not to do things that destroy the Great Wall.

Like smoking, like drinking.

Frequent smoking will produce smoke stains on the tooth surface, which will make the dental calculus easy to deposit and increase the speed of plaque formation, so that the odor bacteria can recover quickly after natural disasters; Smoking will aggravate the anaerobic environment in the mouth and make the living environment of odor bacteria better; Tobacco combustion products can directly produce volatile sulfur compounds in the mouth, which can also produce halitosis without odor bacteria.

After drinking, alcohol will produce acetaldehyde or other odorous substances, and then discharged from the mouth, forming a special "wine odor"; In addition, alcohol makes the oral mucosa dry, and once the secretion of saliva is less, the stinky bacteria will be in good weather.

2、 Bad breath you can't deal with

What kind of halitosis can't be solved by yourself?

1. Stink bugs are hiding in places you can't clean yourself.

Like periodontal disease. It will make the tooth flesh and tooth joint produce more than 3mm deep groove. Don't underestimate this small groove. The dental plaque in the groove accounts for 60-70% of the total dental plaque in the mouth. Stinky bacteria hide in it to fart. You can't do anything with it.

In fact, pericoronitis of wisdom teeth is the same reason. The only difference is that the groove formed by wisdom teeth and tooth flesh is bigger. It's almost a pocket, which contains stinky bacteria and their spare food for a month. Serious tooth decay. Rotten teeth are like a big blockhouse for stink bugs. Store food for a year in the blockhouse. It's nothing to do with stinky bacteria.

2. Saliva secretion decreased.

This may be related to many factors, such as drug effects, salivary gland diseases, radiation damage, etc. the teeth lose the ability to "take a bath by themselves", and the stink bacteria are naturally very happy.

3. Some halitosis is not the fault of odor bacteria, at this time, "the smell is not in the mouth.".

About 10-20% of bad breath is caused by other parts of the body odor, which is mainly chronic systemic diseases, such as sinusitis, tonsillitis, stomach disease, pneumonia, diabetes and so on.

If you can't solve the above problems, please ask your doctor for help.
