Scientists have discovered a link between gum disease and Alzheimer’s. The bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis, known for causing chronic periodontitis, has been found in the brains of Alzheimer’s patients. In mice, it triggered amyloid beta buildup — a key hallmark of the disease. This raises the possibility that infection and inflammation may play a larger role in neurodegeneration than we thought.

Halitosis is also known as bad breath 🤭

I recently had the pleasure of conducting a joint lecture on halitosis with Dr Amanda Phoon Nguyen at . Whilst gum disease is often a cause of bad breath, sometimes it's not. Other causes of bad breath can include:
💦 dehydration
☕ caffeine
🥂 alcohol
🤡smoking
🦷 other dental disease such as tooth decay
🫁 respiratory infections
💊 medications

Once biological causes of halitosis have been excluded, it can be important to consider pseudohalitosis and halitophobia. The graphic was kindly created by Dr Amanda Phoon Nguyen for sharing with our medical practitioner colleagues. Perhaps you could share it with yours.
