What should I do if I have bad breath?

Patient's question:

I have always had bad breath, and I can't smell it myself. When I talk to friends, they tell me I have bad breath. I feel embarrassed and troubled. Now I don't have confidence in communicating with others, so I want to ask what should I do about bad breath?

Doctor's answer:

It might be gingivitis. Not thoroughly brushing the tongue during face washing is recommended. Daily oral care should be paid attention to, and face washing should be thorough. Mouthwash should be used for gargling. For bleeding gums, it is suggested to visit the dental department for scaling above the gum line.
For patients with bad breath, the main daily treatment is medication. Patients can take some oral medications and supplement with vitamins, while also paying attention to self-care, proper diet, and avoiding cold foods.
