What Causes Bad Breath Along With Yellowness In Teeth?

I have had this problem for about 2-3 years. I seem to have to much saliva in my mouth all the time, but it is the worst in the morning because there is so much of it in my mouth that i have to spit it out. Not only that but it is very smelly and causes my teeth to yellow and my breath gets really bad because of it. What could be causing this? I went to the doctor multiple times because of this and no one knows what could be causing it or why. I feel a lump in my throat every time I swallow and it is really annoying. Can anyone please give me an answer to this problem and help me get rid of this, it has been ruining my life!! Thank you!

Hi..
Can understand your concern..

As per your complain excessive salivation is known as Ptyalism or Sialorrhoea and can occur due to a number of causes..
It can be due to any nerve disorders involving nerves which are supplying the salivary glands, due to disorders of salivary glands, due to oral/mouth infections,dental infections, acid reflux,medications like tranquillizers, anticonvulsants etc..

All or any of these can lead to hypersalivation and bad odour in mouth and deposits on teeth can also occur due to hyper salivation..

I would suggest you to consult an oral pathologist and get evaluated and treatment can be planned according to the disease causing you the problem..
For foul smell and deposits on teeth get a professional cleaning of teeth done..
Use mouthwash especially flavoured ones for maintaining a fresh breath and smell..
Get treated for any dental infections as they can also cause hypersalivation

Getting the underlying cause treated can gradually reduce the problem..

Hope this information helps..
