Good day.
It is said that bad breath is related to the bacterial environment of the intestines, is there a connection? How is it possible that people who diligently brush their teeth wake up in the morning with "bad" breath? Is the culprit improper tooth brushing technique, or is the problem elsewhere? And what about tooth decay? Is it genetically determined, or is it always just a matter of brushing technique and adequate hygiene?
Thank you.
Bad breath may be indirectly related to the activity of the gut microbiome. Much more common situations related to diet include liver and kidney dysfunction (e.g., protein overdose, leading to the accumulation of nitrogenous waste), or in the case of diabetes or ketogenic diets, an acetone odor caused by an excess of ketones. Tooth decay is primarily controlled by oral hygiene and is thus directly related to diet.
