Causes

原因

Most bad breath starts in your mouth, and there are many possible causes that include:

通常的口臭的多种起因包括：

Food particles from smelly foods like garlic and onions
某些食物会引起口腔异味，如：大蒜和洋葱

Smoking

吸烟

Respiratory Infections

呼吸道感染

Acid Reflux

胃酸倒流

Poor Oral Hygiene

口腔不整洁

If you don't brush and floss every day, food stays in your mouth and collects bacteria, which can cause bad breath. Food collected between the teeth, on the tongue and around the gums can also rot, leaving an unpleasant odour.

如果您不是每天刷牙和用牙线深层清洁牙齿，食物残渣停留在牙齿间并腐烂和繁殖细菌，留下恶味。

What you eat is also a factor. Foods like garlic and onions contribute to breath odour, and once the food is absorbed into the bloodstream, it's transferred to the lungs where it's expelled. Brushing, flossing and mouthwash will only mask the odour temporarily; odours continue until the body eliminates the food. Dieters can develop unpleasant breath from infrequent eating.

饮食也是因素之一。例如大蒜和洋葱，这些食物一旦被吸收到血液中，然后从肺部经由口腔排出气味；既使刷牙、牙线和漱口水都不能消减异味。这气味会一直持续到食物彻底被身体消化。节食者，因为不能得到愉快饮食，可能会也导致难闻的口气。

Bad breath could also signal a medical disorder. Local infections in the respiratory tract, chronic sinusitis, postnasal drip, chronic bronchitis, diabetes, gastrointestinal disturbance, and liver or kidney ailment can cause breath odour. If your dentist determines that your mouth is healthy, you may be referred to a physician to determine the cause of bad breath.

口臭也是身体不适的预警。局部感染呼吸道，慢性鼻窦炎，鼻后滴漏、慢性支气管炎、糖尿病、胃肠道和肝脏或肾脏疾病可引起口臭。如果，牙医经过诊断确认您的口腔是健康的，您就需要找内科医生查找引发口臭原因。
