Whats the main cause of Halitosis? how can one get rid or decrease it?!
Question:
Will it help to use specific types of toothpaste.any morning rise gargles? I would like to know of a natural remedy.
Answers:
Halitosis has been linked to gingivitis and periodontal disease.
I know of no proactive solutions.
Aside from shallow observations whereas onions give you bad breath and garlic doesn't (you might have acid skin/metabolism/whatever)
Regular rinsing with peroxide rinse is inadvisable.You might want to use a peroxide rinse only on a periodic basis.(maybe 2x weekly)
Using a rubber-tipped probe should be used sparingly also, to avoid exposing too much gum.
Flossing can slow the progression of gum disease.
The pipe-cleaner prophylactic is effective in preventing buildup pf food wherever it can fit between teeth the remove whatever is there.
I've learned the best suggestion in slowing down gum disease is an inexpensive WaterPik (I don't mean to sound like an ad for that particular brand) by expensive, it is meant a high pressure of water as opposed to graduated settings.
I mean no gender-oriented offense.
The analogy would be a woman taking antibiotics which has the undesirable side-effect of destroying the balance of the normal flora and fauna to maintain proper defense against bacteria that would normally not flourish.
Whereas a peroxide rinse would provide a temporary solution, use it sparingly.
A mild salt solution has an effect, although not proven in clinical trials, will allow bone (teeth are mounted in jawbone) to deteriorate at a lesser rate.
Recall periodontal disease attacks teeth below the gum line.
Please tell me you get regular dental checkups.
In my humble experience, a dentist might rate progress of gingivitis by how far down a he or she can probe.
Abcesses, whereas not direct causes of halitosis, are indicators of periodontal disease.
A front-office nurse at a dentist's office suggested warm salt-water gargles to raise the abcess to the surface where a sterile pin can release the buildup of decomposition as well as can be expected.
To not lance an abcess can be harmful.
Check with your dentist

Bacteria and sulfer compounds in your mouth feeding off the food deposits, on your teeth, between your teeth, and attached to your tongue. Brush them all consistently. minimum morning and night, more frequently until you get that stink under control

Floss and brush the teeth at least once a day, preferrably after every meal.
Be sure all fillings are up to date, a decayed tooth causes bad breath and a nasty taste in the mouth.
Bacteria in your mouth producing plaque and feeding off of food left in between your teeth and bacteria on your tongue, also if you have gingivitis or periodontal disease they cause bad breath and can only be treated by a dentist. Halitosis can also be caused by stomach problems, ulcers, gastric-reflux, sour stomach.
