What's halitosis?

First: dirty mouth, plaque, calculus, tartar accumulation, is the most direct cause of bad breath. Simple oral halitosis is mainly caused by dental caries and periodontal disease. There are a large number of bacteria in the cavities of dental caries or periodontal pocket, which can produce acids and hydrogen sulfide and other decomposition substances, resulting in a special acid odor. Periodontitis is induced by periodontal calculus and food residue in periodontal pocket under the action of bacteria. Pus is formed after the necrosis of inflammatory cells and bacteria in periodontal pocket. Pus is decomposed by bacteria, resulting in a special rotten smell

Second, bad breath is also related to diet and smoking. For example, after eating garlic and onion, these strong odors are carried through the blood and exhaled from the lungs. Tobacco, on the other hand, sours the breath.

Third: chronic gastritis and gastric ulcer can cause bad breath. This is because if there is a stomach disease, the digestive function of the intestines and stomach will decline, resulting in food staying in the gastrointestinal tract for a long time, and other bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract will decompose and produce a variety of odorous gases. For example, people suffering from gastric cancer must have bad breath. The reason is that the food is poorly digested and produces a lot of gas.
