Bad breaths, mourning breath, breath odour or halitosis are some of the terms used to describe a noticeably unpleasant breath odour from people when they are talking.

Most breath odour comes from food particles trapped in the mouth. When food remains in the mouth it becomes a breeding ground for the bacteria that cause bad breath.

Other causes of mouth odour are poor oral health, improper cleaning of the dentures, periodontal disease as well as smoking. Also alcohol consumption, taking certain medications or a salivary gland disorder causes mouth odour.

Bad breath can also be a sign of an underlying medical condition of the stomach, lungs and bloodstream. Also when the mouth is dry saliva production decreases, leaving the mouth’s natural ability to clean its self, impaired.

Saliva contains properties that reduce bacteria in the mouth. The reason doctors recommend drinking lots of water if you have bad breath.

Testing for HIV/AIDS and other sexually transmitted diseases has become easier in Uganda following the invention of a machine that will be able to test people to see whether they are HIV positive in the comfort of their homes.

The new home test kit (you may read machine), also codenamed OraQuick was recently invented in the US but it has already reached Ugandaand East Africain general.

The kit detects the presence of HIV in saliva collected using a mouth swab. Now this dilutes the claims some scientists have been making that one can not contract HIV from saliva. The test kit was designed to return a result within 20 to 40 minutes.

The new test kit machine was manufactured by Orasure, a Pennsylvania-based lead maker of oral fluid diagnostic and collection devices but it was approved by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

The home test kit is considered by scientists and researchers to be one of the great innovations in the fight against the HIV/AIDS pandemic.

Dr. Joshua Musinguzi, the HIV/AIDS control programme manager in the ministry of health says that the home test kit is a good product because it does not need blood specimen.

In fact, the production of excessive saliva can be healthy. Saliva cleans the baby’s gums and washes away foods and bacteria that might leave the mouth dirty.

The enzymes in saliva also help to break down the carbohydrates in foods, operating as a head start in the digestive process.

In addition, drooling plays the role of natural intestinal lubricant because babies usually suffer from gastro oesophageal reflux (a condition in which the acidified liquid content of the stomach affects the oesophagus).

Therefore this saliva lubricates the lining of the esophagus and helps to neutralize the acidity. Saliva also contains a healthy substance that could epidural growth factor, which helps the intestinal lining mature. Later when your baby has developed all the teeth, drooling stops.

However babies with developmental delay show a limited swallowing mechanism, causing excess saliva in the mouth. See a pediatrician for a developmental assessment of the baby’s overall muscle coordination.
