Why face masks result in bad breath?<\/h2>\r\nAccording to the Academy of General Dentistry, up to 80 million people have chronic bad breath<\/strong>. Bad breath is the third most common reason <\/strong>that people seek dental care, just after tooth decay and\u00a0gum disease. Using a face mask has become a regular and essential accessory during this coronavirus pandemic.\r\n\r\nIt is very important to protect yourself and others by using a face mask.\r\n\r\nSeveral people have started to complain of unpleasant odour<\/strong> after wearing a face mask for several hours. Initially, they think that the mask material causes the smell.\u00a0<\/strong>\r\n

Does wearing a mask cause bad breath?<\/h3>\r\nNo, Wearing a mask doesn’t cause bad breath<\/strong>. It just makes you realize that you have bad breath. However, there are several underlying causes that can result in bad breath such as:\r\n
    \r\n \t
  1. Dry Mouth: <\/strong>Most people breathe through their mouths instead of their nose when wearing a mask.<\/li>\r\n \t
  2. Breathing through the mouth <\/strong>can result in a dry mouth and bad breath. If you breathe through your mouth, you produce less saliva<\/strong> and therefore there isn’t sufficient production of saliva to remove food particles and moisten mouth tissue.<\/li>\r\n \t
  3. Food particles in the mouth: <\/strong>Is your mouth smelling like a rotten egg? During the day, the food you eat sometimes leaves small particles<\/strong> in your mouth. The bits of food can accumulate around your teeth and under your gums.\r\nIf they are not cleaned daily by brushing your teeth and flossing, they can mix with the bad bacteria<\/strong> in your mouth. Together, they can cause dental caries or even gum disease.<\/li>\r\n \t
  4. Oily food: <\/strong>Indian food contains a lot of onion and garlic. This causes smelly breath. Orange juice is great for vitamin C but causes smelly breath as well. The oils present <\/strong>in these aliments and beverages are carried to the lungs <\/strong>and into the breath.<\/li>\r\n \t
  5. Dirty masks: <\/strong>Using a mask loaded with bacteria is a bad idea. It i not only bad for your dental hygiene, it also results in skin problems.<\/li>\r\n \t
  6. Smokers mouth:<\/strong> Smoking regularly not only causes bad breath but also destroys your teeth in the long term.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n
    The most common cause of bad breath is bad oral hygiene.<\/strong><\/blockquote>\r\nMouth, nose, and throat issues:<\/strong>\u00a0Sometimes, small, bacterial colonies can form on the tonsils and produce a foul odor. Several infections or inflammation in the nose, throat, or sinuses can cause bad breath.\r\n
