Patient's question:
Doctor, I have quite bad bad breath now. Last year when I had my teeth cleaned, the doctor said I had some kind of gingivitis, but I forgot. Additionally, my stomach and intestines are not good, and I don't know what the cause of my bad breath is?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended that you pay attention to oral hygiene. Brush your teeth and rinse your mouth seriously every morning, before going to bed, and after meals. When necessary, gently brush or wipe the tongue with toothpaste or a clean towel. In daily life, you should quit smoking and drinking; your diet should be relatively light, avoiding extremely cold, irritating, smelly (such as garlic, onion, chives, stinky tofu, etc.), and difficult-to-digest, greasy (high protein, high fat) foods; chew your food slowly when defecating; drink more water, eat more vegetables, fruits, and beans; maintain a regular lifestyle and always keep a cheerful mood; and engage in more physical exercise.Halitosis is a serious condition. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment based on their symptoms, and it is hoped that patients can follow their doctors' advice for appropriate treatment. At the same time, pay attention to self-care, maintain a proper diet, and avoid worsening the condition.
