Patient's question:
My daughter is 8 years old. In the morning when she goes to bed, her bad breath is very severe. During the day, when she speaks, there is also some odor in her mouth. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Children's bad breath is very common and may be due to neglect in diet. Bad breath is caused by the colonization of microorganisms throughout the digestive tract. Saliva Saliva, when acidic, creates a favorable environment for bacterial colonization, so people with an acidic constitution are prone to bad breath. Children with dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucosal inflammation, or other oral diseases such as cavities and periodontal disease are also prone to bad breath. You can consume large amounts of alkaline foods to neutralize acidic substances in the body and maintain the acid-base balance of body fluids. You can eat barley leaf green juice. Base your diet on light foods.
