Many people are used to having a bitter taste in the mouth when waking up in the morning, and they think that this is the reason for mouth breathing when sleeping. In fact, in traditional Chinese medicine, waking up with a bitter taste in the mouth may mean oral disease or gastrointestinal disease. Below, I will analyze the causes and treatment methods of waking up with a bitter taste in the mouth.

Causes of bitter mouth when sleeping

First, consider whether the bad breath is oral or non-oral. If factors related to bad breath cannot be ruled out, such as respiratory diseases, digestive system diseases, solid organ damage, diabetic ketosis, uremia, leukemia, vitamin deficiency, etc., these diseases should be treated locally or systemically first.

If there are oral diseases that may cause bad breath, such as untreated caries, residual roots, residual crowns, poor restorations, gingivitis, periodontitis and oral mucosal diseases, caries should be treated medically in a timely manner.

Remove useless residual roots and crowns, remove poor restorations, remove incorrect anatomical structures, treat oral mucosal diseases, and for patients with periodontal disease, first perform basic treatments such as cleaning and root scaling, and then carry out systematic periodontal treatment and plaque control.
