I have bad breath in mouth. I smoke frequently. Please help me with this problem.

Question

Dear Lybrate user, the prime solution to the problem lies in your question itself. QUIT the habit! smoking could be a major contributing factor here. Apart from that, pay special attention to maintaining your oral hygiene. Consult your dentist for a checkup, get a professional cleaning/scaling done. Natural breath sweeteners like fennel (saunf) and basil (tulsi) are beneficial. Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated because dry mouth also contributes to bad breath.

Dear user, first of all stop your habit of smoking as it is really a great threat for your life. Talking about your mouth, smoking does a lot of damage to teeth and gums. Eventually one day you will loose all your teeth if you do not quit smoking. Regarding current solution to your problem, you can start with certain remedies like -
1.Start doing warm saline rinses by adding half spoon of salt to a glass of warm water and rinsing your mouth 4-5 times in a day.
2. Use mouthwash twice daily after brushing in the morning and night time before bed.
3. Start consuming a lot of water i.e 9-11 glasses daily.
4. Eat lot of fruits and green vegetables
5.Take vitamin c tablet daily.
If possible do go to a dentist and get your scaling done. This will provide you alot of relief with your problem.
I hope you are satisfied with the remedies.
(Do consult me privately for better treatment and effectiveness so that I can help you in a better way.)

Stop smoking and get your fetor (medical term for bad breath) evaluated, as it can be due to various causes from a good physician. All the best.

Sakshi Sharma · Answer

Bad breath from the mouth can be of various reasons. Like accumulation of plaque and tartar, decay in teeth, dry mouth, smoking and tobacco chewing, consumption of caffeinated beverages and alcoholic drinks, sore throat, bad digestion.
I suggest that you get thorough professional cleaning/scaling done from a dentist, and use antibacterial mouthwashes thereafter. You should also clean your tongue twice daily with a tongue cleaner. Following all these measures will solve your problem.
Hope that helps.
