Why gum problems and bad breath often worsen during the monsoon
Gum problems and bad breath often worsen during the monsoon due to lifestyle changes, according to orthodontist Dr. Jaineel Parekh. Increased consumption of sugary snacks, reduced hydration, and inconsistent oral hygiene during this season can lead to bacterial growth, resulting in gum inflammation and bad breath. Maintaining good oral hygiene and staying hydrated are crucial to prevent these conditions from escalating into serious periodontal disease.
