Patient's question:
Experts, I usually have bad breath from my mouth, and I feel bitter in my mouth after taking a nap. I find it very troublesome. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
From a Western medical perspective, the vast majority of bad breath is caused by dental issues. Proper periodontal treatment can resolve it, with minimal impact on pregnancy. Causes of bad breath include periodontal disease, such as tartar buildup, which requires periodontal treatment. Scaling is ineffective and can worsen the condition. Mild periodontal disease costs around 600 yuan, while severe cases generally do not exceed 2,000 yuan and can be effectively treated to eliminate bad breath. Bacteria on tartar have little impact on pregnancy, but may cause gum inflammation during pregnancy. It is important to maintain good oral hygiene.
