Halitosis
  • Commonly called with the simple name of Bad
    Breath, Halitosis is the condition in which an
    unpleasant odor comes out from the exhaled breath
    of a person. It is the 3rd most common dental
    problem, after gum diseases and tooth decay,
    experienced by people around the world. Halitosis
    can be recurrent or persistent in nature, which
    depends on the cause of the disorder. Bad breath
    treatment in India has become a major health
    issue after diabetes and arthritis.

Causes
  • Several causes can lead to bad breath problems.
    Improper oral hygiene is the biggest factor for
    contributing halitosis in most of the cases.
    Bacteria present in the mouth breakdowns the food
    and produce hydrogen sulphide and methyl
    mercapan, which are responsible for producing the
    foul smell. Second biggest cause of halitosis is
    an infection in the sinus, tonsils, or lower
    respiratory system. Other than these internal
    factors, external factors such as smoking and
    alcohol consumption can also lead to bad breath
    problem. Eating onions and garlic can also
    contribute to halitosis. As most of the Indian
    cuisine consist of garlic and onion, halitosis is
    very common in the country. Halitosis care in
    Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore, Chandigarh, and other
    major cities are rising quickly.

Treatment
  • The treatment of halitosis depends upon its
    cause. In the case where bad breath is a result
    of maintaining a poor level of oral hygiene, a
    person can consult a dentist for immediate
    relief. Long term problem of halitosis can be
    managed with a proper level of regular medical
    care. Brushing twice daily can prove helpful in
    reducing the foul odor. A toothbrush with tongue
    cleaner needs to be used for brushing daily.
    Mouth rinsing with a mouthwash can reduce the
    intensity of bad breath. The habit of visiting a
    dentist regularly helps to avoid the problem of
    halitosis or minimizing it. Bad breath because of
    chronic sinusitis is a recurring problem that can
    be minimized with regular dentist check-up and
    medical counseling.
