Bad Breath, Painful Gums

Posted on Feb. 26th 2010 by Dental Plan Review in Dental Help, Gingivitis, Gum Pain Comments Off on Bad Breath, Painful Gums

My gums have been red and slightly swollen for over two months now.  I be using Listerine with gum care and that seemed to be helping me.  My gums still hurt but not all the time mostly when I brush or eat.   Since I do not have a dentist and no dental insurance using mouthwash is really the only affordable thing for me to do.

About a week ago I have notice that my breath is not so fresh like it use to be either.  One of my friend said my breath stunk.  I do not know why that would be since I am always using mouthwash.  Do you think it has anything to do with my  gums?  If so should I see a dentist?  If I have to see a dentist where can I find a really cheap one to look at my teeth?

Thanks

My bad breath stinks. Are there any natural treatments?

Bad Breath – What are the Natural Treatments?

Having bad breath is a common complaint that afflicts many people. It is caused by the presence of bacteria in the oral cavity. Bacterial growth can occur due to many reasons, and in many places that may cause a foul odor to emanate from your mouth. Usually the most common reason is infrequent brushing leading to bacterial decomposition of leftover food particles in your mouth and in between your teeth.

Also, certain kinds of food like garlic and onion tend to make your mouth smell as they themselves have strong odors. The disintegrating food particles may cause foul odors to emanate from your mouth, from the skin of your tongue, the gaps in your teeth from under the gums.

Bad breath is caused by a variety of factors, the primary one being the breakdown of proteins from food particles in the mouth by bacteria. Certain kinds of food and drink are also responsible as they have strong smells as well, like onions, cheese, tobacco, and garlic.

Bad breath may also be caused by throat infections, dental decay, worms in the intestinal tract, constipation, gum diseases, gastritis, and accumulation of food between the teeth. In short, any sort of bacterial build up in the gastrointestinal tract can lead to bad breath.

Bad breath – I have it

you may not be brushing enough. Since you have braces brush after eating. Talk to your dentist to find out the correct way in flossing with braces on. Flossing is important in order to remove food particles stuck in your braces.

If you don’t brush and floss your teeth daily, food particles can remain in your mouth, which promotes bacterial growth between teeth, around the gums, and on the tongue. This causes bad breath.

Persistent bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth may be warning signs of gingivitis. Gingivitis is caused by the buildup of plaque on teeth. If gingivitis continues untreated, it can damage the gums and jawbone. Your dentist will be able to see if you have the on set of gingivitis so you may wish to ask them to check this for you at your next appointment.
