Bad breath -- you might have it and not know it. Usually it's too late when someone tells you that you have it. You can be proactive about your bad breath by eliminating the causes for it.
- The most obvious cause for a bad breath is the food you eat. For example, eating garlic and onions can make your breath smell for days. On top of the food that remains in your teeth, certain foods and oils actually go in your lungs through blood circulation and cause smelly breath this way.
- Bad dental hygiene. Food pieces that are left in and around your teeth not only make your breath smell bad by default, they also accumulate bacteria in your mouth which cause periodontal disease. So don't think that just chewing some gum is all you need.
- Saliva deficiency and dry mouthness. Saliva keeps your mouth clean and if there is none in your mouth, dead cells start accumulating and causing a foul odor. For example, if you sleep with your mouth open you will have a dry mouth in the morning and your breath will smell bad.
- Many diseases and infections, even when not associated with your mouth directly, can cause a bad breath. Lung diseases and kidney diseases can affect your breath for instance.
- Smoking. Smoking causes smelly breath in three ways: directly after you have smoked, indirectly by causing a dry mouth and very discreetly by causing diseases that cause bad breath. Quitting smoking is definitely the first thing to do if you want to eliminate smelly breath.
- Starvation. When you don't eat for a while, your body switches to using ketones for energy. The chemical process of breaking down ketones causes a bad breath.
- Stress or anything that can have an effect on your digestive system. When your digestive system is affected you will have a smelly breath.
So these are the most common causes for smelly breath, eliminating these will most likely get you results. Good luck.
