Possible causes of bad breath in girls:
1. Poor oral hygiene: If a girl does not maintain a habit of brushing teeth in the morning and evening, or brushes teeth ineffectively, food residues and bacteria may remain in the mouth. Bacteria breaking down food residues can produce foul-smelling substances such as sulfides.
2. Lifestyle habits: Improper diet, staying up late, smoking, and alcohol consumption may affect oral health and cause bad breath.
3. Oral diseases: Conditions such as periodontitis, dental caries, and gingivitis may also lead to bad breath. These diseases can increase bacterial levels in the mouth, resulting in unpleasant odors.
4. Digestive system diseases: Conditions such as gastritis, gastric ulcers, and Helicobacter pylori infection may also cause bad breath.
5. Respiratory tract diseases: Sinusitis and tonsillitis may also contribute to bad breath.
6. Systemic diseases: Generalized conditions such as hormonal imbalances, diabetes, and kidney disease can sometimes manifest as symptoms of bad breath.
It is recommended to maintain good oral hygiene habits and adjust dietary habits. If symptoms persist or worsen, timely medical consultation is advised.
