I Have A Polyp Which Causes Mouth Dryness And Bad Breath. Once It’s Removed Will The Bad Breath Go Away?
Q.
Hello. I have a polyp in my nose which makes me breathe out my mouth most of the time, which is causing mouth dryness and bad breath. I try to drink water but my mouth gets dry super quick. I will get my polyp surgically removed soon, but not yet. When my polyp’s removed will the bad breath go away? Also I have a post nasal drip and just wondering, will chewing gum mask the smell of bad breath and post nasal drip, so will you be able to smell it while chewing gum. I use a tongue scraper but that doesn’t help much as the bacteria quickly breeds again after a while. Also, about braces, I have baby teeth, but my adult teeth are awfully crooked. I’m 13. Can I have braces with my baby teeth in my mouth?

Hello. You should see a doctor if the teeth are not the reason for the bad breath, my feeling is the crowding makes cleaning difficult with plaque build up. See your dentist first and your GP if things don’t improve. Kind regards, Dr Andrew Moore.
