People tend to breathe through their mouth instead of through their nose while wearing a mask
If this is the problem, then training is needed.


Some bad breath just can’t be covered up. Dry Mouth is No Joke It leads to quick tooth decay

Now that dentists have reopened their doors, they’re having patients show up with a nasty set of symptoms, which the doctors have dubbed “mask mouth.”

The new oral hygiene issue — caused by, you guessed it, wearing a mask all the time to prevent the spread of the coronavirusis leading to all kinds of dental disasters like decaying teeth, receding gum lines and seriously sour breath

“We’re seeing inflammation in people’s gums that have been healthy forever, and cavities in people who have never had them before,”
says Dr. Rob Ramondi, a dentist and co-founder of One Manhattan Dental. “About 50% of our patients are being impacted by this, [so] we decided to name it ‘mask mouth’ — after ‘meth mouth.’ ”


He says the stinky syndrome is triggered by face coverings, since wearing a mask increases dryness of the mouth — and a buildup of bad bacteria.

“People tend to breathe through their mouth instead of through their nose while wearing a mask,” says Sclafani. “The mouth breathing is causing the dry mouth, which leads to a decrease in saliva — and saliva is what fights the bacteria and cleanses your teeth.”
