Bad
Breath Causes.
The topic of bad breath
causes has received extensive research.
I will refer you
to the findings of Dr. Harold Katz
the world's leading bad breath expert.
He is the founder of California Breath Clinics
and here he shares his knowledge on
what
causes bad breath & What the symptoms mean.
Dr. katz has done an extensive research (over 10 years) on bad breath, halitosis and
taste disorders.
Can your toothpaste
cause bad breath?. He
shares his findings
from his research
on why your oral
products May be giving you Bad Breath. Products includes
toothpaste, mouthwash, chewing gum, spray etc.
Note:
I am recommending Dr. Katz to you because his clinically proven techniques
in eradicating bad breath worked for me.
I was
very amazed by some of his findings from the research, for example did you know:
-The
bugs that cause bad breath actually live under the surface of your tongue?
- The only thing that really kills bad breath is oxygen (OXYD-8)?
I recommend you read his articles and discover the culprit behind bad
breath and how
to get rid of it.
conditions
under which bad breath becomes worse.
 Certain
foods that we eat for example onions
and garlic, can contribute to bad odor.
When these foods are digested and absorbed in the bloodstream it is transferred to the
lungs where it is expelled
and comes out as bad breath. This is a temporary situation
and will stop once
the body has processed and eliminated the food.
You could minimize the effects
of (bad breath) caused by these foods by brushing,
flossing and mouthwash. This situation is not limited to just onions and garlic, other
foods like milk and cheese, fish and coffee have been proven to
contribute to halitosis.
It is important to note that all other foods that we eat
can contribute to bad breath if
threes no regular brushing and flossing.
Food
particles that remain in the mouth tongue and between teeth encourage the build
up of bacteria that will cause the food particles to rot and therefore resulting to
bad
odor.
Dry
mouth (Xerostomia)
“Saliva”. You
probably don’t give much thought to this important feature of the
mouth. Saliva is necessary for it cleans the mouth and removes particles of food that
may cause bad breath. Dry mouth occurs when
there’s decreased amount of saliva in
the mouth, which can be caused by various medications (usually prescribed for high
blood pressure or depression and antihistamines), adult beverages with alcohol in them,
problems with salivary glands or continuous breathing through the mouth. It is advisable
to see your dentist who may prescribe artificial saliva. Drinking lots of fluids will also
help.
Tobacco
products
These products have been proven to contribute to bad breath.
Medical disorder
Bad breath can also be because of the following health disorders: Infections in the
respiratory track, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis,
diabetes,
gastrointestinal disturbance, liver or kidney ailment.
Oral
hygiene
Regular dental visits for professional check ups and cleaning is essential in maintaining
fresh breath. Brush twice daily with fluoride
toothpaste to remove food debri and
plaque. Daily flossing will remove food
particles in between teeth.
Severe dieting
Dieters may develop
unpleasant “fruity” breath from ketoacidosis, the break up of
chemicals during fasting.
