Halitosis or Bad Breath

Bad breath is a symptom which can annoy people around us though we may be unaware of its presence. It is most commonly due to poor dental hygiene or a tooth infection. Bad breath is usually caused by the breakdown of proteins by the bacteria present in our mouth. But there are several serious diseases in which Bad breath may be an important feature or sometimes it can even be the presenting symptom.

The following are the diseases of the Oesophagus, Stomach and the Airways which cause Bad breath and can easily be identified by a careful medical history.

Diseases of the oral cavity that cause bad breath:

  • Dental decay
  • Perionditis or other Gum diseases
  • Food stuck between the teeth.
