What Causes Bad Breath
Common Reasons For Bad Breath And Tooth Decay
What are some of the common problems dentists see
in their patients that lead to dental disease, destruction and discoloration?
Let’s review some them here:
Abscessed tooth
Infection of the tissue surrounding a tooth that usually
fills with pus which has a very smelly odor.
Alcoholism
Immoderate use of alcohol causes decreased production
of saliva causing dryness of the mouth. Dry mouth is a leading cause
of tooth decay.
Atrophic rhinitis
This is an inflammation of the nasal mucous membrane
usually a result of nasal drip due to colds or sinusitis. Bacterial
changes in the mouth can increase risk for dental disease.
Cancers.
Cancers such as esophageal, pharyngeal, oral tumors,
leukemia, pulmonary and stomach cancer all present severe complications
due to the decay that is taking place. Additionally, the medical treatments
for these cancers can exacerbate a problem with bad breath and certain
medications can cause severe discoloration of the teeth.
Oral Candida
This is a fungal infection of the mouth cavity. Also
known as thrush, it is fairly common among infants, diabetics, chemotherapy
patients and people with HIV or AIDS.
Cavities
Cavities are much less prevalent today than they were
in the middle of the last century. The reason is attributed to the
good education with regard to dental health, but more importantly
the introduction of fluoride into municipal water systems which began
in 1945.
Pharyngitis
This is an inflammation in the area at the back of
the mouth known as the Pharynx as usually occurs because of a virus.
This is the same area where you begin to feel a slight “scratchiness”
at the onset of a cold or flu.
The bacteria involved can lead to more serious streptococcus,
commonly known as “strep throat.” If it progresses it
can be highly contagious and because it is bacterial it will produce
bad breath and possible tooth decay.
Poor dental hygiene
We have discussed some of the leading causes of dental
disease, but nothing matches poor dental hygiene as a leading cause
of tooth decay and discoloration. Lack of brushing, flossing and regular
checkups are the most important weapon for ridding oneself of bad
breath and preventing more serious conditions from developing.
All of these conditions can leave you with teeth and
that need lots of help! Fortunately we live in the modern world. Unlike
those ancestors of ours, we have access to dental procedures that
were nothing more than “science fiction” in centuries
past.
