What causes bad breath in men?

The most frightening thing about bad breath is that you are usually the last person to know about it. You usually have to wait until the person who said it is embarrassed or starts to avoid it. How does bad breath come from? If you want to solve the problem, you must find out the source of the problem! So today I will list many reasons that cause bad breath. Some of them are not surprising, but some will shock you because you have never heard of them before!

1. What causes bad breath in boys?

Oral decay type halitosis

There are long-term caries, acute and chronic periodontitis, acute and chronic gingivitis, acute and chronic oral mucositis, etc. There are a lot of pathogenic bacteria in the mouth that breed and decompose to cause decay problems. Sulfur dioxide or hydrogen chloride, or other decay problems, are released, so the breath is sour and smelly.

Constipation type bad breath

The constipation is more serious, and the bowel movement is blocked for a long time. It causes intestinal oil to accumulate in the intestines. Because of the infrequent bowel movement, difficult defecation, abdominal gas blockage, and the rise of sour and rancid gas of intestinal oil, the main manifestation is bad breath.

Foodborne halitosis

Generally speaking, the level of bad breath varies with the type of food consumed, which is proportional to the total amount of food consumed and inversely proportional to the time of eating. The first is garlic and onion, such as garlic, garlic leaves, garlic sprouts, agar, shallots, 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 fish, salted crab, shrimp sauce, and crab paste, which also have a salty and fishy smell after eating. The smell of alcohol after drinking is strange and disgusting, but drunkards often go along with it and cannot control it, which makes people lose their appetite. The smell of smoke from smokers' mouths is also disgusting.

2. Personal examination of bad breath in boys

Self-experience method (cover your mouth and nose with your hands, breathe through your mouth, and then smell the exhaled air to see if there is any peculiar smell); feedback from close contacts: based on feedback from family members, friends or immediate family members; clinical medical testing methods: mainly including wrist test and plastic spoon test;

The immediate nasal test by a professional doctor is an easy-to-implement and more accurate objective method for evaluating bad breath. The diagnosis is made by a professional doctor who performs nasal testing of bad breath. The level of bad breath is measured on a scale of 0 to 5, and the results are highly reproducible.

Laboratory tests: chemical composition analysis (meteorological chromatograph/mass spectrometry sulfate detector, liquid chromatography, activated zinc oxide film semiconductor controller, BANA analysis), milk gargle oxygen depletion test, microbial strain and fungus detection, saliva molding, etc.

3. What to do if boys have bad breath

Choose the right way to brush your teeth, brush at least twice a day, and develop the habit of rinsing your mouth after meals. It is also very important to clean the tongue. Because 80% to 90% of bad breath comes from the back of the tongue, dentists should teach patients to use tongue scrapers to clean the tongue properly. In vitro experiments can also be used to find the key pathogens of the patient, and use a mouthwash that can effectively inhibit the growth of tongue microorganisms for local antibacterial treatment.

Common mouthwashes now include chlorhexidine, chlorine compounds, hydrogen peroxide, acetate, zinc salts, etc. A good mouthwash should be able to maintain the biological diversity of normal beneficial bacteria in the oral cavity and prevent new symptoms caused by intestinal flora imbalance. Stimulate saliva metabolism or use substitutes, because saliva has the functions of antibacterial, sterilization, and cleaning the mouth. In the treatment, it is also necessary to consider increasing the amount and flow of saliva, improving the exercise of the tongue, swallowing food containing chemical fiber or chewing gum, etc., which are all helpful to relieve bad breath.
