Question
when children between age 6-12 months presents with halitosis,without respiratory tract illness,where should the focus be?what shall be done in such children?
Answer
As soon as a child falls asleep, saliva production plummets, and the muscles relax. The longer a child sleeps, the higher the bacterial count in the mouth rises, resulting in "morning breath."
In children, smelly breath that persists throughout the day is most often the result of mouth-breathing, which dries out the mouth and allows the bacteria to grow. Children who consistently breathe through their mouths might have colds, sinus infections, allergies, or enlarged tonsils or adenoids blocking the nasal passages. Thumbsucking or sucking on a blanket can also dry out the mouth.
