Causes of Bad Breath
1. Oral diseases
People with various oral diseases are very prone to bacteria in their mouths, especially anaerobic bacteria. These bacteria decompose substances and produce a foul smell, causing bad breath.
2. Digestive diseases
Diseases such as peptic ulcers, chronic gastritis, and functional indigestion may be accompanied by bad breath.
3. Smoking and alcohol
Smoking, drinking alcohol, drinking coffee, and regularly eating spicy foods such as onions, garlic, and chives, or having a preference for smelly foods like stinky tofu and stinky eggs can also cause bad breath.
