Everyone may have experienced such an embarrassing scene in life. When talking to others, they tell you that you have bad breath. This scene is so embarrassing! So, why is this happening. About 90% of people's bad breath comes from their own oral problems. This unpleasant smell is mainly caused by sulfide, which is produced by the breakdown of bacteria in the mouth. It is a volatile sulfide. The higher the sulfide concentration, the stronger the smell. The remaining 10% of patients with bad breath are closely related to their own disease! It is necessary to see a doctor promptly. Your oral hygiene problem cannot be solved simply by changing your oral hygiene. It may be a symptom of your disease!

Why most people with bad breath can’t smell it themselves, but others can? This may be due to two reasons:

First: People's olfactory cells are easily fatigued. Bad breath in the mouth is not unheard of. It is just because the olfactory cells become tired and gradually adapt to the taste of the mouth because it lasts too long. So I can't feel the taste in my mouth. For example, people with bad breath tend to smell particularly bad in the morning. In fact, this is linked to long periods of sleep leading to reduced salivation, bacterial growth and more sulfide breakdown.

Second: Because our olfactory cells are located in the front of the nasal cavity. In our lives, the mouth or nose cannot breathe at the same time. Therefore, when we use our nose to inhale the air from our mouth, the taste in our mouth has long disappeared, so we usually don't smell bad breath in our lives.

So how do we find out if we have bad breath? We can directly lick our palms and smell them ourselves to directly determine whether we have bad breath. What should we do if we have bad breath? We can drink tea, which can eliminate bad breath, or chew gum, which can also keep breath fresh.
