Is there any connection between bad breath and saliva odor?

In daily life, drooling is a very normal thing. Our mouth secretes saliva all the time, and when the water in our mouth reaches a certain level, we will swallow the saliva. However, in daily life, we usually don't have the phenomenon of saliva flowing out automatically. If the sleeping posture is not right, drooling is also possible.

For example, when we are working or studying during the day, we will inevitably feel sleepy. Or during the lunch break, because the sleeping place is far away from where we work or study, in order to save time, we may choose to lie down on the desk and take a nap. But sometimes after you lie down and sleep, you will find that there may be saliva at the corners of your mouth or on your arms. If you smell it, there is actually a strange smell.

When I was in my senior year of high school, especially when the college entrance exam was approaching, the students in the school would spontaneously save time, for example, they would choose to lie down in the classroom for a while instead of going home to sleep at noon. One day, after waking up at noon, I found that the corners of my mouth were wet and drooling. After wiping it with paper, there was still a stinky smell. So why does our saliva smell? Does smelly saliva mean that we have bad breath?

First of all, more than 98% of our saliva is water, and the rest is some digestive enzymes and proteins. And the saliva itself has no odor in our mouth. It will only emit a bad smell after it comes into contact with the air. That's because some enzymes in the saliva react with microorganisms in the air, so we can smell the smell. I woke up from a nap at noon and found that I was drooling, and it was smelly. Don't worry too much about this phenomenon. Saliva plays a big role in the function of our body. It can not only improve the moisture conditions inside our mouth, but also help us digest and sterilize to a certain extent.

If we want to reduce the bad smell in our saliva, the easiest way is to drink more water and let the water take away the microorganisms and food residues in the mouth. At the same time, we need to pay attention to problems such as bad breath. You know, once bad breath is smelled by people around you, it is really embarrassing. In daily life, we must develop the good habit of brushing our teeth and rinsing our mouths frequently. Brushing your teeth every morning and evening is a must, and it is also very necessary to rinse your mouth after eating. And when brushing your teeth, we must also pay attention to the way and method of brushing our teeth. It is best to brush vertically. The correct brushing posture can help us reduce the growth of bacteria in the mouth.

When brushing your teeth, you can try using a tongue scraper. According to surveys, most of the bacteria in the mouth are attached to the tongue, and it is very easy to produce bad smells. Pay more attention to your tongue coating when brushing your teeth and regularly clean the tongue coating, which can help us reduce the occurrence of bad breath to a great extent.

Bad breath is not only caused by not brushing your teeth properly, but it is also likely caused by a bad stomach. If the bad breath is caused by a bad stomach, then the first step is to take good care of the stomach before moving on to the next step.

What is the cause of our bad breath? At this time, you need to go to the hospital for a series of related examinations. By consulting a doctor and taking related examinations, you can find out the real cause of your bad breath or bad saliva. After finding the cause, you can prescribe the right medicine to fundamentally solve this kind of problem.

In short, any problem with body function is not without reason. For example, we tend to drool when we sleep. These are all for reasons. We must find the reasons for such problems and find ways to fundamentally solve such problems according to the doctor's advice. We must always pay attention to our physical health. After all, the body is the capital of the revolution.
