What Could It Mean If Saliva Has Tendency To Smell Like Vinegar?
Hi, My name is Marcus and I noticed recently that my saliva has the tendency to smell like vinegar and I was wondering what it could mean? I try to brush my teeth regularly and use mouth wash to fight the bacteria, so I m wondering if it is something more serious?
From the available description it appears that you are not able to maintain your oral hygiene properly. This is a minor problem and a simple visit to dentist can help you for a great extent. Other than regular brush and use of mouth wash you need to visit dentist so he can do scaling and can remove the smell producing bacteria. It is also advisable to increase the vitamin B complex and vitamin C in your diet as deficiency of these vitamins contributes to such smell.
