Chronic Bad Breath-Do You Suffer with It. Chronic bad breath is no laughing matter. If you have it you’ve possibly experienced embarrassment because of it and this is so unnecessary. Chronic bad breath is usually the consequence of physiological problems more than poor oral hygiene. Anyone with chronic bad breath has tried all the usual measures to fix the problem
Bad breath is an embarrassing situation that many people encounter. One may feel that if they are brushing and flossing there is nothing they can do aside from breath spray and mints to, at best, camouflage the odor. Just as it is true for many medical conditions, it is true for halitosis as well; i.e., one must treat the underlying cause and not just the symptoms
Did you know that Chronic bad breath or halitosis is often a precursor to more serious oral and general health problems. The American Medical Association (AMA) and American Dental Association (ADA) have linked even the mildest forms of gum disease such as gingivitis, to certain forms of cancer and even heart disease. People with gingivitis and periodonitist have a mortality rate that is up to 46% higher than those who don’t. The same plaque and germs that cause tooth decay and gum inflammation is found in the same plaque that builds up in your heart and arteries. 95% of products on the market today are ineffective at reducing and reversing bad breath and gum disease
Bad breath is generally caused by an abundance of bacteria in the mouth. This overgrowth of bacteria can be caused by a variety of reasons and result in such bad breath symptoms as bitter or bad taste in the mouth, coated tongue, white nodules on the throat and tonsils, and of course a foul smell. Everyone experiences bad breath symptoms to some degree or another. For most people these bad breath symptoms are transient, that is, with proper oral care, the symptoms will go away. A good example is bad breath first thing in the morning which is usually the result of bacteria built up as the body throws off waste during the sleep cycle combined with the drying of the mouth which allows bacteria to flourish
