What causes dry mouth and bad breath?

Oral diseases: people suffering from dental caries, gingivitis, periodontitis, oral mucositis, tooth decay, periodontal disease and other oral diseases are easy to breed bacteria in their oral cavity, especially anaerobic bacteria, which decompose to produce sulfide, give off the smell of corruption, and produce halitosis.

Gastrointestinal diseases, such as peptic ulcer, chronic gastritis, functional dyspepsia, may be accompanied by halitosis. Recently, we also found that the incidence of halitosis in patients with Helicobacter pylori infection, which causes many gastric diseases, is significantly higher than that in patients without Helicobacter pylori infection.

Young people and some elderly people who diet to lose weight will reduce salivary gland function and saliva secretion, which will increase the number of anaerobic bacteria in the mouth and cause halitosis. These causes of halitosis and dry mouth, must be timely to the hospital for examination, and then do symptomatic treatment, so as to relieve the symptoms.
