Bad breath and oral hygiene are directly related. Most cases are of oral origin<\/strong>, due to gum disorders such as gingivitis or periodontitis. <\/p>\n Bad breath is still a difficult topic for patients and healthcare professionals to address. On the one hand, there is the stigma associated with halitosis and, on the other, those who suffer from it are rarely aware of it. <\/strong>The sense of smell, due to its tolerance capacity, adapts and stops perceiving bad breath. In addition, there is halitophobia<\/strong>, which causes some people to become obsessed with bad breath even when the problem is not present. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” background_color=”#e5e5e5″ custom_padding=”110px||56px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”3_5,2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1600px” custom_margin=”63px|auto||auto||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans|600||on|||||” text_text_color=”#909266″ text_font_size=”20px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||13px|||” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n Gum disease<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Spectral||||||||” text_text_color=”#1b2d47″ text_font_size=”45px” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#1b2d47″ header_2_font_size=”45px” custom_margin=”||11px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”left” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”45px” header_2_font_size_phone=”35px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#1b2d47″ text_font_size=”16px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||50px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n After many years of experience, at our dental clinic in Bilbao we have seen that around 85% of cases of halitosis are due to an oral cause, 8% to ENT pathologies and the remainder to systemic pathologies<\/strong>. Oral causes are due to the accumulation of volatile sulphur compounds. These contain sulphur which, when mixed with other gases, generate bad odour. They originate from cellular metabolism, either bacterial or from the individual’s own epithelial cells in the oral mucosa, the gingival sulcus, and especially on the back of the tongue. \u2018The tongue has a very complex microanatomy in which small crypts form, where bacterial communities nest and produce volatile sulphur compounds through their metabolism,\u2019 explains Ion Zabalegui, a specialist in periodontics and implantology at Zabalegui Dental and Facial Medicine. <\/p>\n Halitosis and oral hygiene are directly related. Most cases of oral origin are due to gum infections such as gingivitis and\/or periodontitis,<\/strong> which are caused by bacteria and develop due to inadequate hygiene. Bad breath is also related to a decrease in salivation, known as xerostomia, associated with certain types of drugs, mainly antidepressants. Halitosis can also occur during pregnancy and menstrual cycles. This is because hormonal changes can alter the oral flora and promote the growth of certain bacteria. This means that if there is an underlying problem, bad breath will occur, although in many cases it is temporary. A diet too high in protein also promotes halitosis.<\/strong> <\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/” title_text=”causas-de-la-halitosis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”|||147px||” hover_enabled=”0″ border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_margin_last_edited=”on|phone” custom_margin_phone=”|||-12px|false|false” sticky_enabled=”0″ custom_margin_tablet=”|||147px||”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”2_5,3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” max_width=”1600px” custom_margin=”89px|auto||auto||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”left” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ionzabalegui.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/07\/halitosis1.jpg” title_text=”halitosis” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” max_width=”100%” min_height=”441px” custom_margin=”|-2px||||” custom_padding=”||75px|||” border_radii=”on|15px|15px|15px|15px” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”3_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” animation_style=”slide” animation_direction=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans|600||on|||||” text_text_color=”#909266″ text_font_size=”20px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||13px|||” hover_enabled=”0″ text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}” content_last_edited=”on|phone” content_phone=”<\/p>\n Periodontic treatments<\/p>\n ” sticky_enabled=”0″ content_tablet=”<\/p>\n Periodontic treatments<\/p>\n “]<\/p>\n Periodontic treatments<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text content_tablet=”<\/p>\n ” content_phone=”<\/p>\n ” content_last_edited=”off|desktop” _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Spectral||||||||” text_text_color=”#1b2d47″ text_font_size=”45px” header_2_text_align=”left” header_2_text_color=”#1b2d47″ header_2_font_size=”45px” custom_margin=”||11px|||” header_2_text_align_tablet=”left” header_2_text_align_phone=”center” header_2_text_align_last_edited=”on|phone” header_2_font_size_tablet=”45px” header_2_font_size_phone=”35px” header_2_font_size_last_edited=”on|phone” text_orientation_tablet=”” text_orientation_phone=”center” text_orientation_last_edited=”on|phone” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Open Sans||||||||” text_text_color=”#1b2d47″ text_font_size=”16px” width=”100%” module_alignment=”center” custom_margin=”||11px|||” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\nDental implant placement process<\/h2>\n
