Patient's question:
I have had bad breath for over 10 years. I didn't notice it before; it was others who told me. I used the taste self-test method and felt there was no unusual odor, but others could detect it. It's very frustrating. Now, some new treatment medications have appeared on the market again. Due to the variety, I don't know which one to choose. Previously, I also frequently experienced severe oral ulcers, with flare-ups every year.Doctor's answer:
Causes of bad breath:1. People who do not brush their teeth, do not brush their teeth, or brush them carelessly.
2. Some denture wearers do not pay attention to cleaning their dentures, and there may also be an odor in the mouth. This is the most common cause of bad breath.
3. Oral diseases: Decaying teeth produce odor.
Comprehensive prevention and treatment of bad breath first require the development of good hygiene habits. Prompt and thorough removal of decayed matter in the mouth can ensure oral cleanliness. Additionally, regular comprehensive physical examinations should be conducted, especially to promptly identify and treat oral diseases. Once the cause of bad breath is found, it can be reduced or completely eliminated.
It is not scary to have bad breath. Patients should believe that they can overcome the condition. As long as symptoms are detected early and treated accordingly, the chances of alleviating the condition and recovering are very high.
