Halitosis

Bad breath or Halitosis is a problem that is shared by millions of people across the country. Until recently, there really has not been an effective scientific approach to diagnosing and treating bad breath or chronic halitosis conditions.

According to Dr. Kaviani, prominent Cosmetic Dentist in Preston; when we eat, sulfur compounds from foods are absorbed by our digestive systems. Contrary to popular belief, sulfur compounds do not cause bad breath as a result of working their way back up into the mouth from the stomach.
Rather, the sulfur compounds move from the digestive system into the bloodstream where they are carried to the lungs and cause the bad breath . Here the lungs expel the sulfur compounds from the body by way of the air that we exhale! Amazingly, many of these sulfur compounds are also excreted in sweat from the skin and in urine for hours to even days after the food containing them is eaten.

Bacteria - The Cause of Chronic Bad Breath (Halitosis)

There are numerous causes for halitosis , but by far the most common cause is the presence of bacteria on the teeth and tongue that can produce unpleasant and very toxic chemicals.

Bacteria break down organic matter and extract nutrients for nourishment. This process causes the organic matter to decay. The organic matter in the mouth happens to be living mouth tissues , dead cells, and proteins found in saliva.

This chemical also decreases wound healing and is often responsible for the bad breath and foul taste you may experience. Hydrogen sulphide is another highly toxic gas that affects both the respiratory and nervous systems, as well as deadening the sense of smell.

Halitosis - Periodontitis

Gum disease is now the most common cause of tooth loss in adults and affects about 75% of the population in Europe.

As oral bio-film builds up around the teeth in sticky, durable, coral reef-like colonies, the bacteria within this bio-film begin to destroy the supporting tissues around the teeth. The symptoms of gingivitis are red or swollen gums that bleed easily.

As your dedicated Dentist in Preston , we believe that bleeding gums are a major health concern and can occur even in very young patients. Minor ulcerations in the gingiva (gums) allow bacteria to enter the blood stream and travel throughout our body.

Many of the patients who need treatment for gingivitis return year after year for their dental appointments without any improvement. Although the teeth are cleaned and the stony deposits removed, tissues continue to have bleeding points.

Mechanical care such as cleaning teeth removes the result of the infection but does not remove the infection itself. Treatment of infections requires a diagnosis as to what the infection consists of, followed by appropriate treatment to remove the cause of the infection.

Serious oral infections can affect your overall health.

As the disease progresses, it begins to destroy the bone and soft tissues that support the teeth. The result is a serious infection that can not only end in tooth loss but also in bacteria entering our blood stream.

Since our white blood cells release chemicals to destroy the bacteria, these anti-inflammatory substances are also sent throughout the body. Given that our white blood cells release chemicals to destroy the bacteria, these anti-inflammatory substances are also sent throughout the body, and can result in atherosclerosis and heart problems, pneumonia, diabetes and some cancers.

Diagnosis

Proper diagnosis of the Halitosis or bad breath-condition is extremely important to make sure that the condition does not worsen. Whether the condition is self diagnosed or confirmed by a dental exam, it should be addressed by dental care professionals at your Dentist in Preston as early as possible.

Your dedicated Dentist in Preston has several methods and techniques to diagnose bad breath and the severity of the condition. There are a number of laboratory methods used. One of them is the BANA test. This is a saliva test mostly conducted to see whether the saliva contains any significant levels of halitosis causing bacteria.

Gas chromatography is another novel technique ,utilized by your cosmetic dentist in Preston. This system measures levels of gases like dimethyl sulphide, methyl mercaptan and also levels of hydrogen sulphide. This technique monitors the gaseous levels in the form of digital graphs.

Finally, as embarrassing as it might feel, please talk to your Dentist in Preston about your halitosis : we are your best ally in keeping your mouth healthy. You'll be wearing a confident smile in no time!
