Some mothers may find that their 2-year-old babies have bad breath when they wake up in the morning. Many mothers are puzzled about this. What is the reason for the bad breath of 2-year-old babies when they wake up in the morning?
1. Not maintaining good oral hygiene
Many parents believe that their baby's baby teeth will still be replaced, so they are too lazy to brush their baby's teeth. A 2-year-old baby mainly relies on eating, and during the process of chewing food, food residue is easily left in the mouth. If the residue in the mouth is not cleaned by brushing teeth, bacteria can easily multiply and bad breath can also occur.
2. Indigestion
Although a 2-year-old baby can eat food, their digestive system is not very good. If the food they eat is difficult to digest, they may experience bad breath, which is accompanied by anorexia and constipation.
3. Oral ulcer
If a baby frequently has oral ulcers that cannot be relieved, it is easy for bacteria to grow in the mouth, which can lead to bad breath. Therefore, if parents discover that their baby has oral ulcers, they should seek treatment immediately.
4. Eating spicy and stimulating food
If your baby doesn't have bad breath normally, but suddenly experiences bad breath one day, you should pay attention to whether it is related to diet. Some foods have a special odor that can cause bad breath once eaten, such as garlic, onions, and so on. Therefore, after the baby eats these foods, it is recommended to brush their teeth and rinse their mouth to eliminate odors.
