Can Bad Breath Be A Sign Of Health Problem? Read To Find Out! by badbreath(f): 11:37am On Nov 10, 2017
Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth may be a warning sign of gum (periodontal) disease. Gum disease is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth. Bacteria cause the formation of toxins to form, which irritate the gums. If gum disease continues untreated, it can damage the gums and jawbone.

Other dental causes of bad breath include poorly fitting dental appliances, yeast infections of the mouth, and dental caries (cavities).


The medical condition dry mouth (also called xerostomia) also can cause bad breath. Saliva is necessary to moisten the mouth, neutralize acids produced by plaque, and wash away dead cells that accumulate on the tongue, gums, and cheeks. If not removed, these cells decompose and can cause bad breath. Dry mouth may be a side effect of various medications, salivary gland problems, or continuous breathing through the mouth.

Many other diseases and illnesses may cause bad breath. Here are some to be aware of: respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia or bronchitis, chronic sinus infections, postnasal drip, diabetes, chronic acid reflux, and liver or kidney problems.

Good evening fellas, trust you all enjoying your weekends?

Quickly, will like to drop something here about bad breath before we sleep.......

Bad breath, medically called halitosis, can result from poor dental health habits and may be a sign of other health problems. Bad breath can also be made worse by the types of foods you eat and other unhealthy lifestyle habits.

How Does What You Eat Affect Breath?

Basically, all the food eaten begins to be broken down in your mouth. If you eat foods with strong odors (such as garlic or onions), brushing and flossing -- even mouthwash -- merely covers up the odor temporarily. The odor will not go away completely until the foods have passed through your body.

If you don't brush and floss teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, promoting bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums, and on the tongue. This causes bad breath.

In addition, odor-causing bacteria and food particles can cause bad breath if dentures are not properly cleaned.

Good evening to you all, trust you all enjoyed your weekend?

before we sleep, i will like to drop some things here for your perusal


Chances are, you already know the basics when it comes to keeping your breath minty-fresh (or at least non-offensive to those in whiffing distance). You brush, floss, and maybe do a quick rinse with mouthwash a few times a day. That's the case more often than you might think, as poor oral hygiene is not the most common cause of bad breath, Most chronic bad breath is actually due to dry mouth: When you don't have enough moisture, the bacteria that live in your mouth thrive. "When you sleep at night there's little or no saliva production. That's what causes dryness and morning breath.

If morning breath is your only issue, you don't really have a problem (just brush!). But many people have dry mouth (and the accompanying bad odor) that lingers all day, often thanks to a medication they're taking. "Seventy-five percent of prescription drugs, including antidepressants, antihistamines, and blood pressure drugs, have dry mouth as a side effect. So if you find people frequently backing away when you're talking, ask your doc if your meds might be to blame. If so, sipping more water, chewing sugarless gum, or maybe switching to a different drug could help. In other instances, chronic bad breath could signal that something is amiss elsewhere in your body.

In lieu of this, if your own experience, is just like what was discussed above, it will be advisable to give our halitovit pack a try today to permanently get rid of that bad offensive breath.

To get a white teeth, you can mix 1 teaspoon of baking soda with 2 teaspoons of water and brush your teeth with the paste. You can do this a few times per week. The bottom line with this remedy is this: Brushing with a paste made with baking soda and water can reduce bacteria in your mouth and buff away surface stains.

Will advice you visit a dentist to get it wash.

Good day to you all. Hope you all enjoying your weekend?


In lieu of the previous posts, i think it is important for us to discuss about the causes of halitosis/bad breath


Here are some of the selected causes

Most bad breath starts in your mouth, and there are many possible causes. They include:

Food. The breakdown of food particles in and around your teeth can increase bacteria and cause a foul odor. Eating certain foods, such as onions, garlic and spices, also can cause bad breath. After you digest these foods, they enter your bloodstream, are carried to your lungs and affect your breath.


Tobacco products. Smoking causes its own unpleasant mouth odor. Smokers and oral tobacco users are also more likely to have gum disease, another source of bad breath.


Poor dental hygiene. If you don't brush and floss daily, food particles remain in your mouth, causing bad breath. A colorless, sticky film of bacteria (plaque) forms on your teeth. If not brushed away, plaque can irritate your gums and eventually form plaque-filled pockets between your teeth and gums (periodontitis). Your tongue also can trap bacteria that produce odors. Dentures that aren't cleaned regularly or don't fit properly can harbor odor-causing bacteria and food particles.


Dry mouth. Saliva helps cleanse your mouth, removing particles that cause bad odors. A condition called dry mouth or xerostomia can contribute to bad breath because production of saliva is decreased. Dry mouth naturally occurs during sleep, leading to "morning breath," and it worsens if you sleep with your mouth open. Chronic dry mouth can be caused by a problem with your salivary glands and some diseases. So dont sleep with your mouth open cheesy grin

Good day fellas, trust you all had great day?

Have been receiving calls on how to know if one have a bad breath or not. Because of this, will like to post this here tonight.

Bad breath is something we're probably all a little paranoid about. It's dead embarrassing and we all know we probably won't necessarily be aware of it ourselves, and our friends are likely to be too kind to mention it. So we find ourselves breathing into our cupped hands and having a sniff to check.

How will I know if I have bad breath?

Unfortunately the breathing-into-your-hand technique may not work awfully well as we get used to our own odours so can't really smell them. Like the way that people with pets aren't aware their house reeks of cat or dog. Or the way you can't smell your own perfume on yourself. So you may have to rely on other people telling you. You could ask a close friend or family member if they have noticed anything. Or ask your dentist when you have your regular check-up. Your doctor would have a sniff for you if asked about it.

Good day fellas, how was your day?


Questions have been popping in on how to avoid bad breath. Here is the answer


How can I avoid having bad breath?

Good oral hygiene usually prevents bad breath. Essentially this just means brushing your teeth regularly and effectively. Stopping smoking, if you are a smoker, also helps.
Re: Can Bad Breath Be A Sign Of Health Problem? Read To Find Out! by badbreath(f): 9:26pm On Nov 21, 2017
Good day to you all, how was your day? Tonight, i will like to discuss about types of halitosis/bad breath.


Types of halitosis

Halitosis can be:

1) Normal

Bad breath can be normal (physiological) in certain circumstances. This includes:

In the morning when you first wake up.
If you smoke.
After eating certain foods - for example, garlic, onions, spices, cabbage, sprouts, etc.
After drinking a lot of alcohol.
Fasting, being on a crash diet or a low-carbohydrate diet.

2) Pathological

This means there is a problem causing it. This is usually a problem in the mouth, but it can be coming from other sources, or caused by a specific illness or condition.

3) Psychological


In this case, the person doesn't actually have bad breath. Nobody else can smell it but the person becomes very anxious about it. An extreme version of this is called halitophobia, the fear of bad breath. Some people think they have bad breath when they do not, and nobody else can smell it. This can result in odd behaviour to try to minimise what they think of as their bad breath. For example, they may cover their mouth when talking, avoid or keep a distance from other people, or avoid social occasions. People with halitophobia often become fixated with teeth cleaning and tongue cleaning and frequently use chewing gums, mints, mouthwashes and sprays in the hope of reducing their distress.

Good day fellas, trust you all had a great day? Laying more emphasis on the cause of bad breath. Tonight, i will like to elaborate more on its cause

What are the causes of bad breath?

Coming from within the mouth

Most cases of bad breath (halitosis) come from germs (bacteria) or debris that build up within the mouth. This is discussed in more detail in its own section.

Morning bad breath

Most people have some degree of bad breath after a night's sleep. This is normal and occurs because the mouth tends to get dry and stagnate overnight. This usually clears when the flow of saliva increases soon after starting to eat breakfast.

Dry mouth (xerostomia)

Bad breath associated with a dry mouth is caused by a reduction in the cleansing mechanism of the mouth as a result of reduced flow of saliva. There are many causes of a dry mouth. The most common cause is after a night's sleep (discussed above). Dry mouth may also occur:

*Due to a lack of fluid in the body (dehydration).

*As a side-effect of some medicines (for example, tricyclic antidepressants).

*As a symptom of some diseases (such as Sjögren's syndrome).

*Following radiotherapy to the head and neck region.

Good evening day all. How was your day? Still on causes of bad breath........Here are some of the causes you need to take note of;


Foods, drinks and medicines

Chemicals in foods can get into the bloodstream and then be breathed out from the lungs. Most people are familiar with the smell of garlic, spicy foods and alcoholic drinks on the breath of people who have recently eaten or drunk these. Various other foods and medicines can cause a smell on the breath. This type of bad breath is temporary and easily cured by not eating the food. (However, some people eat spiced food every day. As a result, they will constantly have a typical smell on their breath.)

If a medicine is causing the problem then discuss possible alternatives with your doctor. Medicines that have been associated with bad breath include:

*Betel

*Chloral hydrate

*Nitrites and nitrates

*Dimethyl sulfoxide

*Disulfiram

Some chemotherapy medicines

*Phenothiazines

*Amfetamines

*Lithium

*'Water' tablets (diuretics)

*Bisphosphonates


Check the list of side-effects on the leaflet that comes with your medicine if you think it might be causing bad breath.

Re: Can Bad Breath Be A Sign Of Health Problem? Read To Find Out! by badbreath(f): 10:26pm On Nov 24, 2017
Good evening fellas, how was your day? Still on the causes you need to take care of;

Smoking

Most non-smokers can tell if a person is a smoker by their breath which "smells like an ashtray". Stopping smoking is the only cure for this type of bad breath. Smoking also increases the risk of developing gum disease - another cause of bad breath.

Diets

Crash dieting or fasting can cause a sickly sweet smell on the breath. This is due to chemicals called ketones being made by the breakdown of fat. Some ketones are then breathed out with each breath. Low-carbohydrate diets also can cause this sort of bad breath.

Medical causes

Medical causes, other than problems in the mouth, are relatively uncommon. Possible causes include:

*Nasal problems. For example, a lump (polyp) in the nose or a small object stuck in a nostril (occurs most commonly in children) can cause a bad smell. In this situation, the smell tends to occur only, or more severely, when you breathe out through your nose. It is not so noticeable when you breathe out through your mouth.

*Sinus infections.

*Throat infections such as tonsillitis.

*Mouth infections, such as dental abscesses.

*Infections or tumours of the lung.

*Bronchiectasis.

*Reflux of acid from the stomach ora stomach infection called Helicobacter pylori.

*Diabetes

*Severe kidney or liver problems.

*¦Fish odour syndrome (trimethylaminuria). This is a rare medical cause but worth being aware of. It typically causes breath and body odour that is often like a fishy smell. It occurs because the body loses the ability to properly break down trimethylamine which is found in certain foods. There is then a build-up of trimethylamine in the body which is released in sweat, urine and breath. Urine and blood tests can help to confirm this diagnosis if it is suspected.

In these medical cases, there are usually other symptoms that would indicate the cause. For example, a blocked nose, sinus pain, chest symptoms, a high temperature (fever), etc. If you are otherwise well and have no other symptoms apart from bad breath, the smell is likely to be coming from a build-up of bacteria in the mouth and other medical causes are unlikely.

Good day all. How was your day? Trust you all had a stress free day?


From the messages and calls that have been receiving, majority of the clients still dont understand the causes of bad breath which am still going to address again tonight.


Will be focusing tonight on Bad Breath coming from the mouth

In most people who have bad breath (halitosis), the bad smell is thought to come from germs (bacteria) and debris within the mouth. As the bacteria break down proteins and other debris in the mouth, they release foul-smelling gases. One or more of the following may contribute to the build-up of bacteria, debris and bad breath:

Food stuck between teeth.

Normal teeth brushing may not clear bits of food which can get stuck between teeth. The food then rots and becomes riddled with bacteria. Regular cleaning between the teeth can clear and prevent this problem.

Plaque, tartar (calculus) and gum disease. Dental plaque is a soft whitish deposit that forms on the surface of teeth. It forms when bacteria combine with food and saliva. Plaque contains many types of bacteria. Calculus is hardened calcified plaque. It sticks firmly to teeth. Gum disease means infection or inflammation of the tissues that surround the teeth. If your gums look inflamed, or regularly bleed when you clean your teeth, you are likely to have gum disease. The severity can range from mild to severe.

Coating on the back of the tongue. In some people, a coating develops on the back part of the tongue. It is not clear why this occurs. It may be from mucus that drips down from the back of the nose (postnasal drip). The coating can contain many bacteria. This explains why bad breath can sometimes occur in people with otherwise good oral hygiene.

Tonsil stones (tonsilloliths). These are clusters of calcified material that form in the tonsillar crypts, or crevices of the tonsils. They are made up mostly of calcium but can contain other ingredients such as magnesium and phosphorus, and can feel like a small lump in the tonsils. Rarely harmful, they can be a nuisance and hard to remove and can often cause bad breath.


This is where am going to stop tonight, hope you ve learn one or two things from this?

How can I tell if I have bad breath?

A main problem with bad breath (halitosis) is that often the only person not to notice it is the person affected. (You become used to your own smell and do not tend to notice your own bad breath.) Often, the only way to know about it is if a person comments on it. However, most people are too polite to comment on another person's bad breath. You may have to rely on a family member or a close friend to be honest and tell you if you have bad breath.


Some people suggest a simple test which you can do yourself to detect bad breath. Lick the inside of your wrist. Wait a few seconds for the saliva to dry. Then smell the licked part of the wrist. If you detect an unpleasant smell, you are likely to have bad breath.

When to seek further help

Good day fellas. Trust you all had a great day? Will be continuing from my previous post tonight. I hope all this informations will be helpful for any halitosis problem.

When to seek further help

If you have done everything you can in terms of the oral hygiene measures discussed in this leaflet and still have bad breath then see a doctor or dentist.

Who should I consult about bad breath?

You can see either a doctor or a dentist. Usually a dentist would be the first port of call, as they can do a thorough check of your teeth and gums, which are the most common source of the problem. If the dentist can't find a cause in your mouth, he or she may suggest you consult a doctor.

Will I need any investigations if you are having bad breath?

For most people this won't be necessary. You would have an examination of your mouth by your dentist. In some cases the dentist may suggest an X-ray to look further at your teeth. Your doctor may ask about other symptoms and examine you to look for other causes if the dentist cannot find a cause. If this is the case, you may need some tests to assess if you have a less common cause of bad breath. This might include:

*Blood tests.

*An examination of the inside of your nose with a tube (nasoendoscopy).

*An examination of your gullet and stomach (gastroscopy).

*A breath, blood or stool test for the germ Helicobacter pylori, which sometimes is a cause.



Though most people even after undergoing many of this tests and examination still couldnt find the source of the cause of the bad breath. It is of importance to note that irrespective of the cause of your own bad breath, our halitovit pack is able to provide a permanent solutions to your own cause of bad breath.

Good afternoon fellas, trust your day is going well?

Will be discussing this afternoon on HOW TO PREVENT HALITOSIS/BAD BREATH


Good oral hygiene not only helps prevent halitosis, but also reduces the risk of us having cavities, abscesses, and gum diseases and losing our teeth.

Routine oral hygiene - recommended for everyone

The main treatment of bad breath coming from within the mouth is good oral hygiene. Aim to get into a regular habit of good oral hygiene - in particular, teeth brushing and cleaning between teeth.

Teeth brushing

Brush your teeth at least twice a day. Use a soft-tufted brush and a toothpaste that contains fluoride. The head of the brush should be small enough to get into all the areas of the mouth. Spend at least two minutes brushing, covering all areas (the inside, outside and biting areas of each tooth). Pay particular attention to where the teeth meet the gum. Get a new toothbrush every 3-4 months. Studies suggest that powered toothbrushes remove plaque and debris better than manual brushes.

Ideally, brush your teeth either just before eating, or at least an hour after eating. The reason for this is to help prevent tooth erosion. Many foods contain acids. In particular, fizzy drinks (including fizzy water) and fruit juices. After your teeth are exposed to acid, the enamel is a little softened. But, the action of calcium and other mineral salts in the saliva can help to counteract and reverse this softening. Therefore, do not brush teeth immediately after eating when the enamel tends to be at its softest; in particular, after eating or drinking acidic foods and drinks. It is best to wait at least an hour after eating or drinking anything before brushing.

Re: Can Bad Breath Be A Sign Of Health Problem? Read To Find Out! by badbreath(f): 6:28pm On Dec 05, 2017
Cleaning between teeth

Clean between your teeth after brushing once a day, but ideally twice a day. This is to remove plaque from between teeth. Dental floss is commonly used to do this. It may be that small interdental brushes are more effective, but studies have not yet shown this convincingly. The aim is to clean the sides of the teeth where a toothbrush cannot reach. Also, to clear the spaces between teeth (the interdental spaces) of debris. Some people who have not cleaned between their teeth before are surprised as to how much extra debris and food particles can be removed by doing this in addition to brushing.

If you are not sure how to clean between your teeth then ask your dentist or dental hygienist. Briefly: normal floss looks a bit like cotton thread. Cut off about 40 cm. Wind the ends round your middle fingers of each hand. Then grab the floss between the thumbs and first finger to obtain a tight 3-4 cm section which you can pull between teeth. Gently scrape the floss against the sides of each tooth from the gum outwards. Use a fresh piece of floss each time.

Some people prefer floss tape which slides between teeth more easily than normal floss. Also, some people use disposable plastic forks with a small length of floss between the two prongs. These may be easier to hold and manipulate. However, they are expensive. Some people use sticks, or small interdental brushes to clean the space between the teeth.

The gums may bleed a little when you start to clean between your teeth. This should settle in a few days. If it persists, see a dentist, as regular bleeding may indicate gum disease.

Have regular dental checks at intervals recommended by your dentist (normally at least once a year). A dentist can detect build-up of plaque and remove tartar (calculus). Early gum disease can be detected and treated to prevent it from getting worse.

Cultivating the habit of good oral hygiene can prevent you from life time bad breath odour. To permanently get rid of that bad breath, kindly make use of the contact above.
