All other bad breath is defined as pathological bad breath because it can be a symptom of diseases. The cause of the majority of bad breath cases is gingivitis, periodontitis and tongue rust, which are gum diseases. There are many findings that gum (periodontal) diseases increase the severity of bad breath and increase the sulfur compounds that cause tongue rust. Some studies have found a relationship between gum disease and bad breath ranging from 74.6% to 80%. In some studies, volatile sulfur compounds in men It has been observed that bad breath is more common in women than in women, and therefore bad breath is more severe. In women, bad breath is more common during menstrual periods.

He stated that it is possible to treat bad breath. Periodontologist (Gum Diseases and Surgery Specialist) Dr.Med.Dent. Laçin Berber said, "First, a dental examination should be performed to identify all dental and gum diseases that may cause bad breath, and then their treatment should be started. A positive relationship has been found between bleeding, which is the first sign of gum disease, and bad breath. The first treatment should be gum treatment. Brushing your teeth correctly at least twice a day, using dental floss, an interdental brush and a tongue brush are sufficient for ideal oral care. Oral care habits and cleaning the tongue reduce bad breath along with sulfur compounds. Non-surgical periodontal treatment helps treat bad breath by further reducing sulfur compounds. Studies show that bad breath is greatly reduced by treating very common gum diseases. After adequate oral hygiene is provided, advanced gum diseases accompanied by osteoporosis and gingival overgrowths, if any, are treated, impacted and problematic teeth should be extracted, infection foci that may be present in the mouth, such as jaw cysts, should be removed from the mouth, and then tooth decay, old fillings, and inappropriate prosthesis treatments should be performed. In patients with dry mouth, the cause of the patient's dry mouth should first be diagnosed and treatment approaches that will increase the patient's saliva secretion should be applied.
If the patient still complains of bad breath after all disease foci in the mouth have been removed, other factors not originating from the oral cavity should be considered and patients should be examined by ENT and ENT specialists. dah "They are directed to provincial physicians," he informed.
