To guarantee the enjoyment of adequate oral health<\/strong>, it is advisable to visit the dentist <\/strong>frequently, since the development of an oral pathology <\/strong>can trigger the appearance of other aggravating elements in the mouth, such as halitosis<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Halitosis, also known as bad breath<\/strong>, corresponds to an unpleasant and uncomfortable smell <\/strong>that comes off the mouth.<\/p>\n

Stopping bad breath in time is essential both to regain optimal oral health and for the mental well-being <\/strong>of the person who suffers from it. There are many situations in which this condition causes embarrassment,<\/strong> discomfort <\/strong>and even anxiety.<\/strong><\/p>\n

At Gross Dentistas <\/strong>we are aware of the importance and seriousness that the problem of halitosis entails. For this reason, we wanted to write this article dedicated to this matter. Throughout it we will show you what are its origins, causes<\/a> and the treatments that fight it.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Why does halitosis originate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

This condition originates mainly inside the oral cavity<\/strong>, either due to the accumulation of bacteria on the tongue<\/strong> or due to periodontal diseases, tobacco consumption, dental cavities, <\/strong>among others.<\/p>\n

However, there is also the possibility, albeit less common, that it originates outside the oral cavity<\/strong>. It is essentially due to disorders of the respiratory tract<\/strong>, the digestive system<\/strong>, or kidney or liver pathologies.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In turn, we can divide the causes of halitosis or bad breath into two categories: Non-pathological and pathological.<\/strong><\/p>\n
