Respiratory disease, and its relationship to bad breath.

Due to the humid environment of the mouth, it is a perfect breeding ground for the development of bacteria. The dental plaque buildup can then lead to periodontal disease and then respiratory disease. Respiratory diseases/sinus issues generally give off their own particular cheesy bad breath smell and can be recognizable during the early stages of development. Going forward, the best way to prevent this issue is by bringing public awareness to the correlation between periodontal and respiratory diseases, and then taking proper action in your personal oral health habits with proper cleaning routines, brushing, flossing, and using mouthwash.
