Reasons Behind Bad Breath
Halitosis can be attributed to a variety of external or internal influences. When considering external or internal factors, several elements can leave a lasting impact on your breath. It’s crucial to be aware of these influences, as they can significantly contribute to the overall freshness of your breath. For instance, some external factors that can trigger bad breath include:
- Diet
- Tobacco Use
- Drinking Excessive Coffee or Wine
- Not Drinking Enough Water
Bad breath can be a nuisance, but did you know it could be a sign of a more significant health issue? When our bodies fight off an infection or struggle with an underlying condition, bacteria can build up in our mouths and create unpleasant odors. Disease and other internal factors can contribute to halitosis, including:
- Poor Oral Hygiene
- Gum Disease
- Dry Mouth
- Sinus or Throat Infections
- Systemic Diseases
- Specific Diets, Such as Keto
While bad breath may seem embarrassing, addressing the root cause is essential rather than just masking the issue with gum or mints. By caring for your overall health in a judgment-free zone, Southern Smile can help you enjoy fresh breath and a better quality of life.
