Saliva smells

Introduction The mouth is not hygienic, not brushing your teeth, not licking your mouth, or brushing your teeth. The food residue in the mouth is accumulated for a long time, and it is fermented and decomposed by the action of bacteria to produce substances such as sulfhydryl groups and amines. There is a rotten stench in the mouth and saliva. Therefore, we should generally strengthen the maintenance of oral hygiene, and promptly remove the food residue in the mouth after meals. It is best to go to the hospital at least once or twice a year.

Cause

The long-term oral cavity is unsanitary, and the food residue in the mouth is accumulated for a long time. Under the action of bacteria, the fermentation is decomposed and decomposed, and sulphur-hydrogen-based and amine-like substances are produced. There is a rotten stench in the mouth and saliva.

There are also several pathological conditions:

1, oral disease: rotted teeth in the decay, periodontal disease makes the gums often inflamed state, abscess bleeding, ulceration and pus, is also prone to a stinky smell.

2, systemic diseases, such as dyspepsia, septic bronchitis, lung abscess, etc., adjacent organs, such as nasopharynx and nasal diseases, such as suppurative maxillary sinusitis, atrophic rhinitis, etc., will enter the odor through the respiratory tract Oral,

3, special foods are good, such as special love to eat garlic, green onions, etc. will also cause.

3 High-pressure liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to detect rancid compounds such as cadaverine in saliva.

4 The zinc oxide thin film semiconductor sensor uses a mouth exhalation into a bag for detection.
