Many new mothers believe in the saying that "you can't brush your teeth during the confinement period" and do not insist on brushing your teeth and rinsing your mouth normally, seriously neglecting oral hygiene. During the confinement period, people eat more often. Over time, food residues will remain in the gaps between teeth, causing a large amount of soft plaque to appear on the teeth and gums, breeding a large number of bacteria and causing bad breath.

2. Caused by getting angry : During the confinement period, excessive nourishment of the mother may cause getting angry. At this time, the mother's mouth will be dry and the secretion of saliva will decrease, which will cause excessive growth of bacteria in the mouth and cause bad breath, resulting in bad breath.

3. Caused by constipation: New mothers who are in confinement are mostly bedridden and have little activity, which can easily slow down intestinal motility and cause constipation. Toxins in the body cannot be discharged in time, which can also cause bad breath.

There are many reasons for worsening bad breath during confinement, far more than those mentioned above. For female friends during confinement, it is best to walk around more and not stay in bed all the time. This can not only accelerate gastrointestinal motility, but also promote blood circulation, effectively prevent constipation or hemorrhoids, and reduce the incidence of bad breath.
