15.Can Halitosis Be Cured?
What factors contribute to poor breath?
There are numerous causes of bad odor, as a matter of fact. In many instances, halitosis, also known as bad odor, is caused by bacteria in the mouth that accumulate over time. Depending on the cause of your halitosis, your dentist may also recommend a more intensive treatment regimen, such as the use of breath mints, mouthwash, and regular brushing.
However, very few people consider that their intestines and stomach may be the source of their bad breath. Sometimes the foul odor or flavor is emanating from the stomach. This may be a sign of other problems with the body, such as stomach ulcers or stomach cancer, and requires an immediate visit to the doctor.
Start by replenishing your gut flora with probiotics. Determine whether the condition persists or improves or worsens.
