What causes bad taste in mouth? How to solve it!

The most embarrassing thing in life is: when you are explaining a problem to your deskmate, you find that he or she dares not breathe; when you are kissing a girl, she complains that you have a bad breath; when you are reporting your work, your boss kindly reminds you to brush your teeth frequently...

So many people with bad breath have developed a habit of chewing gum before meals, after defecation, and whenever they have something to do. However, after two months, the bad breath has not been solved, and the cheeks have become bigger. What can be done?

Let Brother Rong say that if you want to solve this problem, you have to find the root: you have to first figure out which bad breath comes from the mouth and which does not.

Of course, most bad breath comes from the mouth. This strong smell is mainly caused by some bacteria in the mouth called odor-producing bacteria. These bacteria produce volatile sulfides, which are bad breath gases, by digesting the residue in the mouth. And the composition of this gas is a bit similar to fart. So, to some extent, it can be understood that something farted in your mouth. Therefore, it is important to maintain oral hygiene.

I brushed my teeth well, why do they still stink? There are many reasons, it may be because there are still residues in your mouth that cannot be removed by brushing. Rong Ge recommends that you try flossing and mouthwash, and clean dental plaque regularly. In addition, caries, periodontal disease, and wisdom teeth can all cause bad breath.

After talking about what happens in the mouth, what about what happens outside the mouth? Don't forget, in addition to bacteria farting in your mouth, you also fart. Holding in a fart will cause bad breath, and this is not something Rong Ge made up. The gases produced in our human digestive system will always find an outlet after accumulating to a certain level. If you hold in a fart, it will be absorbed into the blood by the intestinal wall after a period of time, and then enter the systemic circulation with the blood to reach the lungs. Finally, the fart will be exhaled out of the body along with your breath. If it is a silent fart, well, you know...

Some people also say that bad breath is caused by a bad stomach. For example, Helicobacter pylori infection in the stomach. However, the gas produced in the stomach is generally not exhaled and smelled. Unless it is caused by gastroesophageal reflux, but when reflux, you will also feel heartburn and acid reflux. If you have this feeling, you'd better go see a doctor.

In addition, bad breath is also related to problems with the nose, pharynx, tonsils, trachea and other parts of the body near the mouth. Among them, a large part of bad breath is related to tonsil stones. That is, lumps formed by food residues, mucus and bacteria remain in the depressions of the tonsils and form stones. But don't be afraid! Because it is not a disease! The treatment method is to go to the hospital to peel it off.

Finally, there is another situation, which is the breath of diabetics. As we know, the main energy source of human beings is glucose. If glucose is insufficient, the body will consume fat. First, it will break down fat into fatty acids. These fatty acids will travel through the blood to the liver, where they will be converted into acetoacetic acid, and then broken down into carbon dioxide and acetone.

What is this acetone? Female friends must be familiar with it, it is the main ingredient of nail polish remover. So if a person's carbohydrate intake is too low, there will be a smell of nail polish remover in the mouth. Ugh...

Because the insulin secretion in the diabetic body is insufficient, it cannot break down so much glucose, so the body thinks that there is not enough glucose and turns to consume fat to produce acetone. So if you feel that your mouth tastes like nail polish remover, go to the hospital immediately!

After all this talk, how can I know if I have bad breath? You can use others to test it, of course. If you are embarrassed, I will introduce you to a method: stretch out your wrist, lick your wrist with the middle of your tongue, wait for the saliva to evaporate, wave your hand and smell it. The whole process is like trying a perfume, noble, elegant, generous ~ so strong...
