The reasons for bad breath range from the not-so-bad (you had a slice of garlic pizza) to the more urgent (you’ve got an infection). Understanding some of the most common causes of bad breath can help you work with your dentist and hygienist to put together a plan to keep unpleasant mouth odors away.
Treatment for throat-related bad breath will depend on the underlying cause. For example, if GERD is the culprit, lifestyle changes and medication may be recommended. If sinusitis is causing bad breath, nasal irrigation and medication may be prescribed. Tonsil stones may require removal by a healthcare professional.
A physician may recommend antibiotics, tonsillectomy, or other surgical ways to remove the debris. Drinking plenty of water, gargling with salt water, and controlling the urge to smoke are the necessary steps that the patient cannot avoid.
