What your Bad Breath is Telling You Spokane, WA![]() Bad Breath
|
• | Gum Disease—Excessive plaque and bacteria on your teeth can take on an awful odor. If you suspect that gum disease is the reason for your bad breath, it is important to make an appointment right away. |
• | Tooth decay—Decay in your mouth can also result in poor smelling breath as the acids slowly break down the enamel of your teeth. |
• | Yeast infection—Oral Candida can grow in your mouth, causing a condition called thrush. Everyone has yeast in their system, but we are usually able to fight it off. When the body becomes unbalanced due to stress, illness or medication, thrush could result. Bad breath is one of the key signs of this illness and should be addressed by the dentist right away. |
