Patient's question:
The baby is 18 and a half years old. She washes her face every day, but she always feels like there's a smell in her mouth, and it's quite strong. What should I do?Doctor's answer:
Oral local conditions are the main cause of halitosis, but it should not be overlooked that halitosis is often an oral manifestation of certain serious systemic diseases, and some organic disorders can also lead to halitosis. Determine the correct brushing method, brush at least twice a day, and develop the habit of washing your face after defecation. Implementing tongue surface cleaning is also very important. Since 80% to 90% of halitosis originates from the back of the tongue, dentists should teach patients how to correctly use a tongue scraper to clean the tongue surface. Additionally, through extracorporeal experiments, the main pathogenic bacteria of the patient can be identified, and mouthwashes that can effectively inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the tongue surface can be used for local antibacterial treatment. Furthermore, during the treatment of patients with halitosis, the patient's dietary condition and care are also very crucial. Patients must pay more attention to their diet and eat more light foods to avoid unnecessary harm.
