Bad Breath During Dry Mouth, Happens On Keeping Mouth Idle. How Can I Cure This?

hi Sir, im not sure whether an ENT is the right one to talk to, i face an issue with bad breathe...it is not really coming from my mouth though; it is like when my mouth is dry; after taking food and leaving my mouth idle for around an hour or so this happens; as you know i cant know this by myself and seek help from others to know of this issue. i had been to doctor s and what they say is just to drink some water which is nt curing my problem. Can you please help me in curing the issue. im really desperate to have this cured. It really stands as a hindrance in my social activities and pulls my confidence down whether in a meeting or in a club. thanks

Hi,

Thanks for asking the query,

Bad breath is usually associated with poor oral hygiene maintainence resulting in plague and food debris accumulation, patients under certain medications like antiepileptic, antidiabetic drugs, respiratiry disorders, GIT disorders.

I would suggest you to get a thorough clinical evaluation by a physicain.

Visit a Dentist and get thorough clinical checkup done.
Go for complete mouth scaling and polishung every six months.
Develop a habit of brushing your teeth twice daily in back and forth up and down motion.
Use chlorhexidine mouthwash gargles twice daily.
Drink plenty of water and keep yourself hydrated.
Get your blood sugar level cheked to rule out diabetes.
Clean your mouth after every meal to prevent plague accumulation.

Hope this helps out.

Regards.
