Why does a baby smell out of his mouth

A lot depends on what exactly it smells like.Sometimes the reason is improper care of teeth and tongue (oral cavity). Incipient caries is also recognized by this sign. But the provoking factors are not always “on the surface”.

Tonsillitis, tonsillitis develop due topathogenic microorganisms. They envelop the mucous throat and affect the formation of ulcers. Hence, the first answer to the question why the child smells of mouth.

Food. Protein products (eggs, fish, meat and milk, cheeses) give hydrogen sulphide when splitting. You can eliminate it by diluting the diet with carbohydrates (cereals, vegetables, greens) and plenty of clean water.

Products that cause fermentation. These are grapes, legumes, sweets.

Poor hygiene. Teeth must not only be cleaned, but rinsed. Special care requires tongue as well as cheeks.

Stress. It dries out your mouth very quickly.

Infectious diseases that cause salivary gland dryness (mumps).

Babies smell like milk.But if the child's breath smells like acetone, you need to review the diet. "Bias" towards fats, proteins or, on the contrary, fast carbohydrates often signals an excessive load on the liver.

Constipation, when the remnants of undigested food linger for a long time in the intestines.

If possible errors have been eliminated indaily routine and nutrition, and the smell does not go away, you can contact a therapist. After examining and collecting the necessary information, he can refer the little patient to a gastroenterologist, endocrinologist, dentist or otolaryngologist (if the problem is related to a sore throat, ears, nose).

The child smells from the mouth: what to do?

Every day, parents and children perform hygienic "rituals" and follow the rules of their usual diet. This can be adjusted, and the problem of why a child has bad breath will be solved.

• On an empty stomach, drink (no, not tea) a glass of clean water. During the day, do not forget about this procedure.
• Brush your teeth twice a day, and in a backpack let the teenager wears a rinse.
• Toothbrushes change as they come tounsuitability or once in three months (they wear out, the bristles cease to reach “in hard-to-reach places”, and microbes tend to accumulate between the bristles).

If this doesn't help, you need to pay attentionafter all, it is good for health. It is never too late to start taking care of it. The main thing is not to blame the child, it is unpleasant and hard for him too. He especially needs understanding and support now, because an unpleasant smell can ruin a teenager's self-esteem and even life. Also interesting:
