Q. Why do I have bad breath even after maintaining proper oral hygiene?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

• Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can occur due to a number of causes like poor oral hygiene, oral and dental infections, postnasal drip, sinusitis, acid reflux, respiratory infections, diabetes, etc.

• You should consult an oral physician or an otolaryngologist and get evaluated as a thorough clinical evaluation depending upon suspected causes can help in your treatment. Treatment of the underlying cause will relieve the symptoms.

• As of now, you should start gargling with a flavored mouthwash twice a day. You should chew a flavored sugar-free chewing gum. Do warm saline gargles twice a day.

• You also need to limit the intake of high aroma foods like onion and garlic. Drink plenty of water and maintain a good oral hygiene.

Hope this helps. Regards.
