Bad Breathing after tooth Extraction is called the condition
of “Halitosis”, which becomes the major cause of bad breath. Many people faces embarrassment just because of their
mouth smelling foul. Aside from that, the bad
breath is something that can make people stay away from you but bad breath
also implies an underlying problem that should be looked into. It could be a
respiratory disease or it could be a problem in your teeth or gums. Likewise, Bad breath is also
associated with tooth extraction. When you get your tooth
removed, there is a healthy chance of a problem of halitosis occurring. But
what are the real reasons for this? And how it can be treated well?
Before going to have a tooth
extraction, you must consider the tooth that is being extracted. Wisdom
teeth often end up being an unnecessary disturbance to people. So, mostly
people get them extracted. However, when a tooth is extracted there is a dry
socket left in its place. Since extraction is about removing the whole tooth
from the root, there could be some bleeding after extraction. But generally,
there would be a blood clot. In the case of a dry socket, it does not happen. If
same empty socket is exposed without any care, the particles of food will
settle there and this will lead to more bleeding. So, when the wounds are
opened up, there will be a foul odor as well.
Moreover, the exposure of the open socket to germs and
bacterias is one of the main reasons why the foul odors and pains persist. Often,
people think that they can afford to be carefree and relaxed after getting
teeth remove. They may continue eating or not follow the same strict oral
hygiene regime. If you don’t brush your teeth carefully or even rinse your
mouth after extracting your teeth, you are in for some serious damage. So, make
sure to have a proper care and oral cleanliness, it will reduce the chances of
any bad breath after tooth extraction.
One of the other causes of halitosis is that, you may have a
growing infection inside your empty and dry socket. These infections may be
because of your smoking habits. If you continue to smoke even after getting
your tooth removed, the nicotine will settle in the dry socket and this causes
infection. Again, poor oral hygiene is one of the important reasons for the
problem of foul breath. If you don’t rinse your mouth or let the wounds be open
and untreated, the whole area and gums will be terribly infected.
As we know, prevention is better than cure. Even so, not
everyone really attends to the problem until and unless it goes from bad to
worse. Surgically, there are some ways to cure the whole problem of halitosis
after getting your teeth removed. One can use some anti-biotic creams and
solutions to recover the infections and wounds. It will help to reduce the bad
breath emanating from the empty socket. So, take proper care of your empty
sockets after you have got your tooth removed. Otherwise, your mouth would
smell foul.
