Preventing Bad Breath
4 November 2021
Many of us have cupped our hands to smell our breath before; wearing a mask is like having our hands cupped in front of our mouth but for a longer period. You are wondering why wearing a face mask is making your breath smell, but in reality, it might not be the mask at all, and your breath might have been bad for a while without you noticing.
There are several reasons that people experience bad breath, or mask-breath. To help address this issue, we decided to put together a list of potential causes.
Possible Reasons Your Breath Smells Bad:
After going through this list and eliminating these issues, are you still struggling with bad breath? Bad breath can be a symptom of periodontal disease (gum disease) or even an underlying medical condition with few noticeable signs. If you struggle with acid reflux or gastroesophageal reflux disease, the acid can easily create bad breath. Bad breath can also be a sign of some cancers, diabetes, and even metabolic illnesses.
If you are experiencing bad breath, consider making an appointment with your dentist. They should be able to help determine the reason behind your bad breath and give you solutions. The current lockdowns have caused many people to put off dental check-ups and professional cleaning. Even if you are doing a wonderful job with your oral hygiene at home, professional dental cleaning and check-ups can really help you stay on top of your overall oral and systemic health. Your dentist has you covered!
