… after almond surgery
Bad breath after a tonsil operation is very common. The reason is often to avoid brushing your teeth to protect the wounds that have not yet healed. It is often recommended to brush the teeth only very carefully and not to brush the areas of the wounds at all for several days.
This is to minimize the risk of secondary bleeding. A quickly developing bad breath is completely normal, since the bacteria in the mouth decompose the food leftovers that are now increasingly deposited. It comes to a sulfurous smell.
Drinking a lot and frequent rinsing of the mouth, e.g. with lukewarm chamomile tea, can provide the first remedy. If the bad breath persists, you should visit your dentist to get advice about possible medical mouthwashes or antibiotics. Often you will be given an antibacterial mouth rinse for the days when oral hygiene is limited. In general, however, bad breath generally subsides as soon as the wounds have healed and the usual thorough dental care consisting of brushing, interdental brushes and dental floss can be used again.
… in the morning
Many people suffer from bad breath, especially in the morning. The reason for this phenomenon is bacterial pathogens on the surface of the teeth, the mucous membranes and above all the tongue, which produce unpleasant smelling gases during the night by secreting various metabolic waste products. However, this bad breath can be reduced or even completely avoided by simple tricks.
To prevent bad breath in the morning, regular oral hygiene should be carried out before going to bed. In addition to cleaning the teeth with a toothbrush, cleaning the interdental spaces is essential. Thorough use of interdental brushes ensures that fewer bacterial pathogens remain in the oral cavity and produce nasty odors that are perceived as bad breath in the morning.In addition, household vinegar dissolved in water, with which the oral cavity is rinsed approximately 4 to 5 times a day, can have a positive effect.
Bad breath in the morning is also particularly common after eating strong-smelling foods such as garlic or onions. In order to prevent foul smelling exhaled air in the morning, it should be avoided to eat such food. In addition, it must be noted that the frequent consumption of alcoholic foods or beverages drastically increases the risk of bad breath in the morning.
Concerned one is to be reduced therefore advisable the consumption of alcohol to a minimum. Many people affected by bad breath swear by the effect of ginger or apples. With the regular consumption before going to bed it should come substantially more rarely to bad breath in the morning.
