What Is It?


Bad breath is breath that has an unpleasant odor. It's also known as halitosis. This odor can occur from time to time, or it can be long lasting, depending on the cause.

Millions of bacteria live in the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue. In many people, they are the primary causes of bad breath. The mouth's warm, moist conditions are ideal for the growth of these bacteria. Most bad breath is caused by something in the mouth.


Some types of bad breath are considered to be fairly normal. They usually are not health concerns. One example is "morning mouth." This occurs because of changes in your mouth while you sleep. During the day, saliva washes away decaying food and odors. The body makes less saliva at night. Your mouth becomes dry, and dead cells stick to your tongue and to the inside of your cheeks. When bacteria use these cells for food, they produce a foul odor.In addition, bad breath can be caused by the following:

• Poor dental hygiene — Infrequent or improper brushing and flossing, allows bits of food that are stuck between the teeth to decay inside the mouth. Poor oral hygiene eventually will lead to periodontal (gum) disease, which also can cause bad breath.
• Infections in the mouth — These can be caused by either a cavity in a tooth or by periodontal (gum) disease.
• Respiratory tract infections — Throat, sinus or lung infections
• External source — Garlic, onions, coffee, cigarette smoking, chewing tobacco. Smoking and drinking coffee, tea and/or red wine will contribute to your teeth becoming discolored.
• Dry mouth (xerostomia) — This can be caused by salivary gland problems, medicines or "mouth breathing." A large number of prescriptions and over the counter medicines cause dry mouth.
• Illnesses — Diabetes, liver disease, kidney disease, lung disease, sinus disease, reflux disease and others
• Psychiatric illness — Some people may believe they have bad breath, but others do not notice it. This is referred to as "pseudohalitosis."

Symptoms

You may not always know that you have bad breath. That's because odor-detecting cells in the nose eventually get used to the smell. Other people may notice and react by stepping away from you as you speak, or making a face.Other symptoms depend on the underlying cause of bad breath:

• Infections in the mouth — Symptoms depend on the type of infection. They can include:
  
  • Red or swollen gums that may bleed easily, especially after brushing or flossing
  • Pus between teeth or a pocket of pus (abscess) at the base of a tooth
  • Loose teeth or a change in how a denture fits
  • Painful, open sores on the tongue or gums
• Respiratory tract infections — Symptoms may include:
  • Sore throat
  • Swollen lymph nodes ("swollen glands") in the neck
  • Fever
  • Stuffy nose
  • A greenish or yellowish discharge from the nose
  • A cough that produces mucus
• Dry mouth — Symptoms may include:
  
  • Difficulty swallowing dry foods
  • Difficulty speaking for a long time because of mouth dryness
  • Burning in the mouth
  • An unusually high number of cavities
  • Dry eyes (in Sjögren's syndrome)
• Illnesses — Symptoms of diabetes, lung disease, kidney failure or liver disease
