Breath odour<\/a> can defined as subjective perception after smelling someone\u2019s breath. It can be pleasant or unpleasant. If unpleasant the terms bad breath, breath malodor, halitosis can be applied. Persistent breath malodor has some underlying pathology. Sadly, bad breath or smell, also known as halitosis, is a common oral problem across all ages. But, as much as we might think this is common, it\u2019s usually a sign of other dental problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The unpleasant smell of breath mainly originates from volatile Sulphur<\/a> compounds( VSCs) especially hydrogen sulphide, methylmercaptan and dimethyl sulphide. However most of these compounds result from proteolytic degradation by oral microorganisms of peptides present in saliva, shed epithelium, food debris, gingival crevicular fluid, interdental plaque, post nasal drip and blood. Hence gram negative anaerobic bacteria causes such proteolytic activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Causes of Bad Breath or Smell<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Periodontal infections for Bad Breath<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bacteria associated with gingivitis and periodontitis are almost all gram negative and known to produce VSCs. In addition the amount of VSCs in breath increases with no, depth and bleeding tendency of periodontal pockets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry mouth causing Mouth Odour<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Patients with xerostomia often present with large amounts of plaque on teeth, prosthesis and tongue dorsum. In addition the increased microbial load and the escape of VSCs as gases when saliva is drying up explain the strong breath malodor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tongue<\/a> and Tongue coating<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Firstly there are enumerable depressions on the surface of the tongue. Secondly these provide ideal niches for bacterial adhesion and growth. Hence high correlation has noted between tongue coating and odour formation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
