Bad Breath Problem May Be More
Severe Than You Think

We tend to think of a bad problem more like a simple nuisance than an indicator of a potentially more serious medical condition. After all, why would there be so many bad breath products and simple over-the-counter solutions if it was something that demanded immediate medical attention? Therefore, we carry around a pocket filled with breath mints and tend to shrug the problem off as a side effect of our love affair with spicy foods or some similarly trite explanation. Sometimes, however, chronic bad breath is a warning sign that should be taken very seriously or you risk severe consequences to your long term health.

This is far from some exaggerated claim meant to sell bad breath products because the number two cause of chronic halitosis is gum disease. Were you to visit a dentist for your bad breath symptoms, they might use a Halimeter to determine the origin of the problem. Were the Halimeter to indicate that the emissions responsible for your halitosis were coming from the back of the tongue, then you would have the garden variety bad breath and there would be no need for alarm. However, if the machine indicated that the gum line was the source of trouble, then you have gum disease.

The bad breath caused by gum disease is due to anaerobic bacteria that create an infection in the gum tissue. These bacteria like to hide behind and among plaque build-up (that invisible or sometimes opaque film that feels sticky and clings to your teeth and gums) because it is an oxygen-depleted environment and they breed much better in such circumstances.

As the gum disease worsens, so too will your chronic bad breath and potential for serious medical consequences. This is especially true when the infection enters the advanced periodontal disease stage and begins attacking your supporting bone and gingival tissue that helps keep your teeth in place. The bacteria secrete toxins that literally break down the collagen that helps the gum tissue maintain its shape while also dissolving the bone tissue as well. If left untreated, your bad breath troubles will worsen until no breath mint will help and your teeth themselves will loosen and fall out.

However, there are options that can he

lp reverse the disease but they can be costly and quite painful. These advanced gum disease treatments often involve surgical procedures but they are the only cure way to prevent your teeth from falling out. In the end, these surgical procedures are your only bad breath treatment option at that point and include:

• Pocket Reduction
• Crown Lengthening
• Soft Tissue Graft
• Regeneration

In the end, you may discover that the gum disease, along with the bad breath, are both caused by an even bigger medical problem like diabetes. So, while you may want to believe that a bad breath problem is a relatively minor concern, it may well be a warning sign of a much larger issue which is why you should consult with a dentist if the situation does not go away with normal oral hygiene.
