7. Persistent Bad Breath
Bad breath that doesn’t go away after brushing is a concern. If you’re practicing good oral hygiene but still have persistent bad breath, it’s time to investigate further. Pulpitis might be a contributing factor.
An infected tooth can release bacteria into the mouth. These bacteria can cause an unpleasant odor. It’s different from the bad breath one might experience after eating certain foods; it’s persistent and doesn’t go away easily.
Dealing with constant bad breath is challenging. It can affect self-confidence, social interactions, and general well-being. Over-the-counter solutions might offer temporary relief, but they don’t address the root cause.
A visit to the dentist can provide clarity. They can determine if pulpitis or another dental issue is the source of the bad breath and suggest a course of treatment to address it. (7)
