What if you are doing everything right with regard to dental hygiene, yet your stinky breath still carries on? Now, don't get all down on yourself about it--because this scenario does happen quite often, actually!And when it does happen, a person needs to remember this fact: there are several reasons for halitosis that are related to medical conditions.
We'll discuss some of them here.
#1: Post Nasal Drip This occurs whenever you have a mucus accumulation in your throat and/or in your sinus cavities.
Bacteria in people's mouths make a banquet from the 'mucusey' mixture that is dripping down at the back of their throat.
There is protein material in this secretion, and it's from there that the bacteria will extract sulphurous combinations.
This whole process gives your breath a putrid smell.
It can also cause bloating and gas, because you are swallowing so much of the discharge and mucus.
#2:Tonsillitis In the back of your throat are found 2 lymph nodes called 'tonsils'.
It is easy to see that area when lookingin a mirror.
Tonsils function as filters that entrap bacteria and also viruses which come into the body by of one's sinuses and mouth.
Tonsillitis is when bacterial and viral activity makes the tonsils inflamed and they become swollen.
Fever and throat soreness are two symptoms, and so is stale, stinky breath.
These symptoms usually last from 4 to 6 days or so.
#3:Tonsil Stones Tonsil stones are those revolting, aggravating tiny white mucus balls that you get far back in your throat.
They are made up of sulphur, mucus, and various other nasty substances.
When a tonsil stone is jutting out, the person feels like there's a foreign object way down inside their mouth.
These unwelcome visitors are notorious for causing absolutely putrid breath.
Gargling is just a band-aid (and not a terrific one, at that).
So, in the event that you are developing the beginnings of a tonsil stone, make arrangements for a doctor to remove it as soon as you can.
#4: Gingivitis When teeth do not get cleaned properly over the long haul, a person's gums will become inflamed.
You see, it's because of plaque: that translucent yellow, gooey film left over from bacterial activity in the mouth.
As plaque calcifies, the door is flung open to that inflammation mentioned above-known as gingivitis.
The two main symptoms are: a) your gums bleeding when you brush your teeth, and b) extremely persistent halitosis.
To prevent gingivitis, you must maintain a regular strategy for removing plaque and, once the condition is present, you will need to consult with your dentist.
#5: Oral Thrush Yeast infection (Candida Albicans) causes oral thrush.
It is very common among those who wear false teeth, as well as babies and people whose immune systems are weak.
Where thrush is present, the person's tongue looks white and 'fuzzy', and/or there are patches of something that resembles cottage cheese coating the roof of their mouth and inside their cheeks.
Two other major markers are an unpleasant flavour in the mouth, and smelly breath.
Thrush must be treated by a qualified traditional or alterative health professional.
#6: Constipation Probably none of us are strangers to constipation.
It happens when the bowels do not function properly.
Besides the obvious discomfort of not being able to 'go', toxins can build up in a the sufferer's body.
When constipation becomes chronic, those toxins will escape by way of the person's skin and their breath--pew! Well, think of it-the odor doesn't have anywhere else to release the poisons building up from the bowel! Proper eating and faithful exercise usually is a viable prevention and treatment for constipation, however a doctor or naturopath can assist with treatment regimes as the problem threatens to be long-term or severe.
You might have a suspicion that one, or maybe more than one, of the above six conditions are present in your body right now.
Don't forget, though, that although they are all medical reasons for people's halitosis, they all also have other (and larger) implications for your health that you need to consider very gravely.
Don't wait to get medical assistance should you have developed any one of these conditions.
You'll be glad to be rid of all accompanying symptoms, including that unpleasant breath, once your health begins to improve.
