Is there bad breath even after brushing? Do not ignore, these 5 serious diseases can be the real reason

News India Live, Digital Desk: A shining smile and fresh breath boost your confidence, but sometimes even brushing teeth is not enough. If you brush twice a day and are still troubled by bad breath, then it may be a sign of some disease developing inside the body, not just the dirt of the teeth. Not cleaning the tongue (Tongue Coating) We often polish our teeth but forget the tongue. Reason: A white layer of bacteria accumulates on our tongue, which releases sulfur gas. This gas causes bad breath. Solution: Use tongue cleaner daily.2. Gum disease (Gingivitis/Periodontitis) If your gums bleed or are swollen, bacteria have made a home there. Danger: Brushing cleans the surface of the teeth, but the bacteria trapped in the ‘pockets’ of the gums continue to cause bad breath. 3. Diseases related to other parts of the body: Bad breath can also be related to the stomach and other organs: Kidney and liver: If the breath smells like ammonia, it can be a sign of kidney problems or liver failure. Diabetes: The breath of diabetes patients sometimes has a ‘fruity’ smell, which is believed to be caused by ketones. Acid reflux (GERD): Stomach Gas or acid reaching the throat is also the main cause of bad smell.4. Problem of ‘Dry Mouth’ (Xerostomia) Saliva naturally cleans our mouth. Problem: If less saliva is produced in the mouth, bacteria grow rapidly. This problem increases due to consumption of medicines or drinking less water.5. Tonsil Stones: Small white stone-like particles accumulate in the back of the throat (tonsils). Food particles and bacteria get stuck in them, which causes a terrible smell like rot. 4 pro-tips to improve oral health: Flossing: Use floss to prevent the dirt stuck between the teeth from being removed by brushing. Stay hydrated: Drink plenty of water throughout the day so that the flow of saliva in the mouth remains intact. Natural mouthwash: Use water of fennel, cardamom or cinnamon after meals. Regular dental checkup: Visit the dentist at least twice a year.
