Causes of unpleasant odor
The appearance of a bad odor from the mouthoccurs for many reasons. Often, a bad smell occurs as a result of improper care of the oral cavity, improper operation of the salivary glands and diseases of the internal organs. A visit to the dentist may save you from such a delicate problem. Because the disease of the teeth or gums can cause an unpleasant smell. It may also be necessary only for traditional professional cleaning of teeth. But there are cases when, communicating with the interlocutor, you can hear the smell of acetone from the mouth. When does this bad smell come about and what can it talk about? The smell of acetone, especially in the mornings, appears for various reasons. And he, most likely, is the first sign of various internal disorders and the incipient disease in the body itself. And this is quite a serious reason to think about your health and not to postpone visiting a doctor indefinitely. So, what can the smell of acetone from the mouth mean:
- Diabetes.
- Problems with the digestive tract.
- Problems with thyroid hormones - thyrotoxicosis.
- Poor functioning of the liver.
- Kidney disease - nephrosis.
- Acute infectious disease.
The smell of acetone and malnutrition Acetone isan intermediate element that participates in the breakdown of proteins and fats. In the case when a person adheres to a wrong diet and consumes a large amount of protein and fatty foods, the body ceases to cope with all the "ingredients" of foods and the amount of acetone in the blood rises. The same effect is often observed in diet lovers, based on the lack of eating carbohydrates, and a sharp decrease in caloric intake, and in people who allow significant or uneven breaks between meals. The smell of acetone and starvation When starving, when in a long-suffering organism absolutely no food comes, the most sad syndrome of so-called ketoacidosis sets in. In the blood, the amount of glucose is sharply reduced. The body, in order to develop at least some energy, begins the splitting of fats and proteins from its own reserves. The result - in the blood a lot of acetone elements, which causes the same acetone amber from the mouth. Plus to this:
- general "blue-green" complexion.
- head-splitting
- urine, reminiscent of dung.
In general, a complete picture of the poisoning of the body,although everything can be considered as evidence of the beginning of the purification process. The smell of acetone and diabetes mellitus A very common reason for the appearance of an acetone amber from the mouth. The development of a disease of the I degree causes malfunctions in the functioning of the pancreas. Iron dramatically reduces the production of insulin hormones, which is responsible for maintaining blood sugar levels. II degree - hormones are produced in the required amount, but the body does not take them. As a result, the blood accumulates an excessive amount of glucose, which can not get into the cells of the body. Excess sugars organism is excreted in the urine, so a person often goes to the toilet. To compensate for the loss of moisture, a person drinks a lot, but the symptoms are still present. So, in the case of a diabetic disease, the following symptoms are added to the odor of acetone:
- Increased weakness and fatigue
- Insomnia
- Itching and dryness
- Excruciating thirst
- Frequent urination
- Diarrhea
Ketonomy and acidosis are frequent satellites of thisdisease. The norm of the content in the blood of ketone elements is 2-12 mg, with diabetes their percentage increases to 50-80 mg. That is why this unpleasant odor of acetone from the mouth arises. Also, its occurrence may be a sign of the development of a hyperglycemic coma. With a small intake of insulin hormone, when the disease develops imperceptibly and gradually, the onset of such a condition is possible. A person can have such symptoms:
- Narrow pupils
- Frequent heartbeat
- Pale skin
- Sharp abdominal pain
- The smell of acetone from the skin and from the mouth.
When these symptoms of diabetic coma develop, a person urgently needs hospitalization and medical care. 
The smell of acetone and thyrotoxicosis Another "terrible"disease of the endocrine system. With this disease, the thyroid gland intensively produces hormones that stimulate the breakdown of fats and proteins. The result - the excessive disintegration of these elements leads to the appearance in the body of many ketone bodies and an unpleasant odor of acetone. The main symptoms of thyrotoxicosis, besides the aforementioned acetone smell:
- Frequent heartbeat
- Increased fatigue (there is no strength) and irritability
- Severe sweating
- Tremor of the extremities
- Problems with the digestive tract
Also, the disease adversely affects the appearance:
- Unhealthy complexion
- Bruises under the eyes
- Hair loss, hair loss
- Significant weight loss with good appetite
If you have such symptoms, you should immediatelyvisit a doctor-endocrinologist, because timely treatment will be much more successful. The smell of acetone and kidneys The smell of acetone from the mouth also appears in kidney diseases - nephrosis and kidney dystrophy, which is associated with pathological deformation of the renal tubules. For this disease, there are disturbances in the metabolic process, as well as fat, which leads to an increased accumulation of ketone elements in the blood and urine. Such a disease, as nephrosis, often develops in parallel with chronic infections, for example, tuberculosis. The most characteristic signs of such diseases:
- Problem urination
- High blood pressure
- Severe lumbar pain
- Edema formation
Characteristic odor of acetone from the mouth and appearanceedema, especially in the morning, an alarming signal that the kidneys do not function properly. With this problem, you should consult a urologist. Timely treatment of nephros often ends in complete recovery. In cases of untimely referral to a specialist, it is possible to "wrinkle" the kidney and completely stop its functioning. The smell of acetone and liver The liver plays an important role in the process of vital activity of the whole organism, namely, in its metabolic processes. Special enzymes produced by liver cells regulate metabolism. The development of pathological diseases of the liver, when there is damage to its cells, inevitably leads to a disturbance of the natural balance in the work of the organ and the whole organism and the inappropriate metabolism. And since in this case the concentration of acetone bodies in the blood rises, this also causes an unpleasant acetone odor from the oral cavity. 
The smell of acetone from the mouth of the child
The acetone smell of babies is a special case. But it often arises and they have. It is known that this state periodically appears in every sixth baby. Frequent and regular increase in the level of acetone bodies signals the onset of acetonemic syndrome. The reasons why there is a smell of acetone from the mouth of babies can be:
- Stressful situations
- Problems in the nervous system
- Chronic overfatigue
- Acute infectious diseases
- Improper power mode
- Frequent overeating
- Dysfunction of internal organs
- Endocrine Crises
There is also a high probability of geneticpredisposition to the onset of acetone syndrome. But the increase in acetone in the blood is possible in babies who do not have such specific genes. In any case, it is not necessary to engage in independent home treatment for a child. To address to the expert-pediatrist costs or stands immediately! By the way, often acetone syndrome closer to twelve years, disappears without a trace.
