Bad breath is definitely not something you want to live with. Most of the times, you blame it on the garlic pasta you had for dinner or the fact that you forgot to brush your teeth in the morning, but in some cases, there’s more to your bad breath than food or poor oral hygiene.
According to Rhonda Kalasho, DDS, a double-board-certified dentist in Los Angeles, California, the foul odor coming from your mouth can also be a sign of diabetes, liver disease, or kidney disease. To make sure that’s not the case, if the foul-smelling breath persists, you might want to pay your dentist a visit as soon as possible.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a shocking 90 percent of adults are unaware of their kidney disease. Why is that? Because the symptoms of kidney disease often go under the radar, explains George Aronoff, MD, vice president of clinical affairs at DaVita Kidney Care.
One such symptom that’s quite easy to overlook is ammonia breath or a metallic taste in the mouth. When accompanied by loss of appetite and changes in the way food tastes, it might be a good time to contact your healthcare provider.
