Bad Breath (Halitosis) Treatment

Bad breath has a significant impact on those who suffer from it, both personally and socially, as well as on the receiving end. This may be due to poor oral hygiene or a sign of a more serious condition.

The primary task in the treatment of halitosis is to find the cause of odor. The most important issue in terms of dentistry for treatment is tooth decay and gum disease. In case of an odor caused by tooth decay, after the decayed tooth is cleaned and a tooth filling or root canal treatment is applied according to the need, a dental veneer that imitates the natural tooth can be applied. Find out what's causing your bad breath and what you can do about it...

  • Poor oral hygiene and food buildup
  • Gram-negative anaerobic microorganisms, especially in the mouth, produce volatile sulfur compounds.
  • Saliva, bacteria, epithelial cells, food residues can accumulate on the tongue and cause odor.
  • Sinusitis
  • Chronic nasal airway obstructions
  • chronic tonsillitis

Today, passer-by health professionals, who measure saliva flow and halometry with an instrument that measures oral health, assess the extent and origin of halitosis through sialometry, as well as oral examination hygiene (such as dental caries, bacterial plaque, tongue plate, or tongue) for signs of poor oral health. Against gum disease that causes vomiting (such as gingivitis and periodontitis), your dentist will thoroughly clean your mouth and advise you on thorough oral hygiene. Thus, it will eliminate the bad smell. If the problem persists, you should check for extra oral causes and bad breath caused by other diseases.
It is the odor of the mouth that is only heard when waking up in the morning. It is present in every individual in greater or lesser quantity. During sleep, saliva flow decreases and the growth of bacteria in the mouth responsible for bad odor is accelerated. There is neither a specific disease nor a pathological finding that may cause halitosis. It is untreated and unnecessary because even if treated it will recur.
The cause of halitosis is disease, pathological condition and dysfunction of oral tissues. It is caused by deposits on the tongue where pathological conditions such as periodontal disease and dry mouth change. Bacteria that settle in the deep pits of the follicles break down proteins from saliva and food into volatile sulfur compounds. The cause of bad breath is volatile sulfur compounds.
The smell comes from the lungs. It's not bad breath. It is breath odor. It occurs in two ways. First, if there is an infection in the lung or lower respiratory tract (pneumonia, pleuritis, adenitis, bronchitis, etc...), the unpleasant smelling gases released from here are mixed directly with the expiratory air. The second way is the conversion of blood gases whose chemistry changes into aromatic compounds in the expiratory air.
