Mr. Ee is LOSTs number 2 fan asked:
my wisdom teeth have been coming in.
i’m planning on making an appt to have them removed,
i’ve just been a little busy.
so do wisdom teeth cause bad breath?
i brush my teeth everyday and even use Listerine.
no, they dont cause bad breath 🙂
Decay can cause bad breath as does periodontal disease. Also if you have chronic sinus problems and/or post nasal drip, these are also causes for bad breath.
Bad breath can be a result of dental decay, accumulation of dental plaque or the accumulation of bacteria in your mouth.
An impacted wisdom tooth can make it difficult to clean your teeth around the area and hence, may cause the buildup of bacteria and hence decay in the area.
Also, you know those white stuff on the surface of your tongue? those are bacteria/fungus that also contributes to bad breath. Just use a tongue scraper to scrape them off every night.
Get your wisdom tooth removed soon!
