Bad breath is something we`ve all suffered from, no matter how well we look after our teeth says a Merseyside dentist. It has many causes which ranges from odorous foods like garlic and smoking and drinking alcohol, all of which will make you someone to avoid! Other causes can be from an infected liver or other vital organ, bad breath can simply be a sign that something is wrong with you. The most likely cause is a bad or lax oral hygiene regime, if you don’t keep your teeth clear of food debris throughout the day then you`ll suffer bad breath. Too much sugar or fat in your diet will stop your Pancreas from producing vital Insulin; we need Insulin to unlock the doors to vital organs and muscles to enable energy to feed them. You may not necessarily be Diabetic in order for this to happen, and a classic sign is a dry mouth. With the saliva gland not working properly your mouth will allow bacteria to breed quickly, they live off the food trapped in between your teeth. They produce acid which has an odour, and this is the most common form of bad breath. If you floss, brush and rinse twice a day that will help, but you also need to be alert to acid production in the day and when you are asleep. In the night the saliva gland is asleep and that also causes bad breath through acid production. Drinking water through the night will help enormously, as will drinking water through the day.
