What causes bad breath in men?

For men, they are under great pressure in their daily life and work, which can easily lead to indigestion, liver fire, and irritability, which often lead to endocrine disorders and bad breath. In addition, if you do not pay attention to oral hygiene and often smoke and drink, it may cause bad breath. In addition, for elderly friends, the decline in physical fitness and weakened gastrointestinal function are all causes of bad breath.

Reasons for bad breath in men:

1. Habitual. Bad oral hygiene habits, habitual constipation, food residues left in the teeth that are not removed in time, etc. can also cause bad breath. Drinking too little water can also cause bad breath.

2. Food-borne. Generally speaking, the degree of bad breath varies with the type of food eaten, is proportional to the amount of food eaten, and is inversely proportional to the time of eating. The first is garlic and onion, such as garlic, garlic leaves, garlic sprouts, leeks, green onions, and onion heads. The second is stinky foods, such as stinky winter melon and stinky fermented bean curd. There are also salty goods such as salted fish, salted crabs, shrimp sauce, and crab paste, which also have a salty and fishy smell after eating. The smell of alcohol after excessive drinking is strange and smelly, which makes people nauseous, but drunkards often talk out of control, which makes people lose their appetite.

3. Gas-related. The most typical one is smoking. The smell of smoke from smokers' mouths is offensive and disgusting.

4. Pathogenicity. Many serious diseases such as pulmonary abscess and uremia require urgent medical treatment and are not discussed here. Untreated tooth decay, periodontitis and tartar, chronic sinusitis, chronic atrophic rhinitis, severe indigestion, etc. can also cause bad breath to varying degrees.

5. Senility: Commonly known as "old man smell", it is often caused by a variety of reasons.

Here are some ways to get rid of bad breath

1. Use breath freshener.

Breath fresheners can effectively and timely remove bad breath caused by food metabolites in the mouth, bad breath caused by mild sinusitis, and bad breath caused by smoking. You can drink a few sips of water first, spray the breath freshener, and close your mouth for a few seconds to keep your mouth fresh for several hours.

2. Drink lemon water.

Drinking water can keep the mouth moist. Adding a slice of lemon to the water can stimulate saliva secretion and reduce bad breath caused by anaerobic bacteria caused by nasal congestion, dry mouth or residual food in the mouth.

3. Eat more vegetables and fruits.

Vegetables contain a lot of fiber, which can help digestion and prevent constipation. The vitamins contained in vegetables and fruits can also help gums restore health, prevent gum bleeding, and eliminate excess mucous secretions and waste in the mouth.

4. Brush your teeth thoroughly every morning and evening. An electric toothbrush is more effective than an ordinary toothbrush.

In addition, floss once a day to thoroughly remove plaque hidden in the gaps between teeth.

People with bad breath should self-explore and analyze to find out the root cause and seek treatment in time. Some causes can be controlled by oneself and after appropriate treatment, satisfactory results can be achieved. Chewing gum and the like can only cover up the bad breath and have a short-term effect and cannot solve the fundamental problem.
