Patient's question:
A colleague at work has very strong bad breath, which is hard to tolerate during conversations. I don't know how harmful it is for the baby to be exposed to this bad breath. Will a colleague with bad breath at 5 months of pregnancy be affected?Doctor's answer:
In the case you mentioned, generally speaking, there is absolutely no impact, so please rest assured. Now, in this situation, it is often the case that it will not have a significant effect on the child. Just rest assured and don't overthink it. There are many treatments for bad breath, but since symptoms vary among patients, the treatment methods also differ. Therefore, it is recommended that patients seek diagnosis and treatment as soon as symptoms are noticed.
