Everyone’s breath has felt not-so-fresh every now and again. But what does it mean when your breath smells like… mothballs?

口臭（口毒）是一种常见的问题,影响了 50％ of the general population. Even though it occurs in almost everyone on occasion, having bad breath can make you feel self-conscious.

如果您呼吸了莫希尔（Mothball），那么它很可能背后有医疗原因。大多数莫达呼吸的原因很容易诊断和治疗。继续阅读以了解更多有关封存呼吸的原因以及消除它的解决方案的更多信息。

口臭可能令人沮丧，但也可能为您的整体健康提供线索。如果您的呼吸具有独特的气味，例如蛾球，则尤其如此。

一个 2018年研究 found that the enzyme known as色氨酸可以在牙齿和牙龈下生长并生长，并且特别与蛾呼吸有关。

细菌在口腔中使用色氨酸来产生分子骨蛋白，闻起来很闻。Skatole使动物粪便具有独特的气味，并可以使人类呼吸吸引着令人不快的莫蒂球的气味。

色氨酸也在粘液中发现。如果您产生大量的粘液，那么您的口腔中会有更多的色氨酸来催化Skatole。

Conditions which might cause excess mucus in the mouth include:

所有类型的口臭都是由bacteria。细菌可以涂上牙齿，舌头，牙龈，口腔和喉咙，以食物颗粒，酶和其他物质的形式喂食。

当您的嘴干时，细菌更有可能繁殖和生长。在鼻腔中产生过多的粘液的疾病可能会导致您通过嘴呼吸，使其比平常吹干。

For that reason, havingdry mouthcan intensify mothball breath. Many conditions and medications also cause dry mouth. Talk to your doctor about the medications you’re taking and their side effects.

If your breath smells like mothballs, your doctor can help. Treating and managing the underlying cause will help to eliminate or reduce the occurrence of mothball breath.

根据您的病情，您可能需要非处方（OTC）或处方药，例如：

Oral hygiene

但是，解决根本原因还不足以完全消除莫蒂球的呼吸。您还需要每天保持良好的口腔卫生习惯。这些包括：

  • 醒来，饭后和睡觉前刷牙
  • 使用专为干嘴设计的嘴冲洗
  • 牙线
  • using a tongue scraper
  • 喝很多水
  • avoiding foods that bacteria like to feed on, such as sweets and starchy carbohydrates

Using an电动牙刷may help rid your mouth of bacteria and excess tryptophan.口臭的家庭疗法，例如咀嚼欧芹，也可以提供帮助。

莫希尔呼吸是由口腔中产生过多粘液的条件引起的。

Treating the underlying condition will eliminate the smell of mothball breath.

Maintaining good oral hygiene habits is also necessary for keeping mothball breath — and all types of bad breath — at bay.
