What Is Bad Breath?

What is bad breath? Why does chronic bad breath occur? Where can I have bad breath treated in Nişantaşı?

Bad breath is an unpleasant smell noticed when breathing in and out. Known medically as halitosis, bad breath bothers not only the patient but also the people around them, and can lead to serious social problems. Bad breath usually results from inadequate oral care. Problems that develop in the mouth and teeth when oral care is not sufficient cause bad breath. When bad breath occurs even though oral care is regular, another systemic disease is involved. With regular dental check-ups, bad breath can be detected early, treated and prevented.

Why does bad breath occur?

The first and most important cause of bad breath is not caring for the mouth regularly. Not brushing the teeth regularly causes food to build up between them. After a while this food debris causes an unpleasant smell in the mouth. Not brushing regularly also leads to tooth decay over time, which in turn causes bad breath. The first step in preventing bad breath is regular and effective oral care.
Inflammation or sores in the mouth also cause an unpleasant smell.
Gum disease, decayed teeth and tumours in the mouth cause bad breath.
Smoking is one of the causes of bad breath.
Saliva can clear unpleasant smells from the mouth. A dry mouth for any reason can cause bad breath.
