Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi! I have a1 yr old daughter and and since past 1 month I see that her mouth smells very bad , be it anytime of the day. She is eating all kind sof food now and has not started brushing yet . What can I do to prevent her mouth from smelling bad?
As per your complain bad smell from the mouth of a 1 year old infant is most commonly due to poor oral hygiene leading to bacterial overgrowth and causing bad smell..
It can also be due to any decaying tooth/teeth or gum infection.. Persisting cold and sinus infections can be a cause..
As you have not started brushing her teeth, poor oral hygiene is appearing to be the culprit..
I would suggest you to consult a Pedodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation done.. In case if there is any infection then it has to be treated accordingly.. In case if there is nothing ruled out then maintaining a good oral hygiene by cleaning teeth after feeding, giving plenty of water can help.. Start brushing her teeth daily...
