-Bad breath is present in a large part of society. Often the main cause is dental problems.
-Caries, calculus, gum problems, and the presence of teeth that need to be extracted are among the main causes of bad breath. Without solving these problems in the patient’s mouth, other procedures are meaningless. After these problems are resolved, bad breath may continue. If the patient does not brush their teeth and tongue adequately, the patient may have a bad breath.
– Another cause of bad breath is digestive system disorders such as reflux. Such systemic problems concern the gastroenterology doctor rather than the dentist.
– Patients who regularly clean their calculus, have the necessary dental procedures done, use dental floss and brush their tongue regularly, do not experience bad breath. However, if bad breath occurs, the patient should be evaluated with advanced methods, and sulfur compounds should be measured. If necessary, the patient should change his eating habits.
