Patient's question:
Ate some gum, and the saliva no longer had an unpleasant odor, but it came back after a while. What's going on? I've had bad breath for several years. Is there any way to reduce it a bit? How can I treat bad breath and smelly saliva?Doctor's answer:
People with bad breath should regularly check for periodontal disease, dry mouth, or other conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene, thoroughly treating periodontal diseases, and having dental cleanings and scaling regularly can all effectively reduce bad breath. The daily treatment for bad breath patients mainly focuses on symptomatic treatment. Patients can use various oral medications, combine them with many vitamins, and pay attention to their diet by eating light, soft, and liquid foods.
