<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="3" ></h1>
Everyone is too familiar with the smell of their own body, and it is difficult for the nose to smell the smell behind the mouth, which makes it difficult for "bad breath" to check itself, and the people around them will make the scene very embarrassing once they say it. Where does this embarrassing smell come from?
In fact, some bacteria in the mouth will continue to decompose some sulfur-containing amino acids into volatile sulfides at the same time as decomposing proteins, including hydrogen sulfide, methyl sulfide, mercaptomethane, indole, etc. The most significant feature of these volatile sulfides is "odor", which is mixed in the mouth to form "bad breath".
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="41" > two or six "roots" of bad breath are common</h1>
The survey shows that the incidence of bad breath in China is about 27.5%, the incidence of bad breath in Western countries is about 50%, and 10% to 65% of people in the world have or have suffered from bad breath, which is not only curious, why is the problem of bad breath so common? Is it just that oral hygiene is not in place? Today, Xiaojiu will take you to reveal the 6 major causes of bad breath.
01 Mouth dry
Saliva has a bactericidal, antibacterial, clean effect, after falling asleep at night, the saliva secreted by the mouth will be relatively reduced, at this time the antibacterial effect is weakened, resulting in the decomposition of volatile sulfides continue to increase, so the next day to get up with bad breath is particularly obvious. Dry mouth caused by reduced drinking water can exacerbate the problem.
02 Food scraps
When eating, food residues are easy to get stuck in the gaps in the teeth, if not removed in time, oral bacteria will ferment and decompose food residues, producing a large number of volatile sulfides, so that the mouth produces an unpleasant odor. In addition, food residues mixed with exfoliated oral mucosal epithelial cells often lead to increased plaque on the tongue and the back of the tongue, which can cause or aggravate bad breath.
03 Oral diseases
If the mouth is opened to emit the smell of rotten eggs, it is necessary to suspect that it is a problem of oral bad breath, which is directly related to oral diseases such as periodontal disease, gingivitis and caries. Oral diseases are not treated in time to provide a platform for bacterial breeding, so we should pay attention to oral cleaning and nursing.
04 Helicobacter pylori
Helicobacter pylori increases the incidence of stomach cancer and also increases the risk of bad breath. First, Helicobacter pylori breaks down in the stomach to produce extremely foul-smelling hydrogen sulfide and methanethiol, which trigger bad breath after the odor enters the mouth through reflux. Secondly, after infection with Helicobacter pylori, gastrointestinal function may be damaged, food digestion and absorption is not timely, retention time in the gastrointestinal tract is too long, and bacterial decomposition produces odorous gas, causing bad breath.
05 Constipation
In patients with long-term constipation, the number of probiotics (especially bifidobacteria) in the intestine is reduced, and gastrointestinal flora disorders are prone to occur, and short-chain fatty acids are reduced, which may cause bad breath.
06 Gastrointestinal diseases
Gastrointestinal diseases such as chronic gastritis, peptic ulcer, functional dyspepsia, And Helicobacter pylori infection often lead to weakened gastrointestinal function, dysbacteriosis, metabolites accumulate in the gastrointestinal tract, and the pungent odor produced will be excreted through the mouth and nose, and the odor will be derived.
