[|Human|] Hi! I have  a1 yr old daughter and and since past 1 month I see that her mouth smells very bad , be it anytime of the day. She is eating all kind sof food now and has not started brushing yet . What can I do to prevent her mouth from smelling bad?
[|AI|]  Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor. As per your complaint bad smell from the mouth of a 1-year-old infant is most commonly due to poor oral hygiene leading to bacterial overgrowth and causing bad smell. It can also be due to any decaying tooth/teeth or gum infection. Persisting cold and sinus infections can be a cause. As you have not started brushing her teeth, poor oral hygiene is appearing to be the culprit. I would suggest you to consult a Periodontist and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation done. In case if there is any infection then it has to be treated accordingly. In case if there is nothing ruled out then maintaining a good oral hygiene by cleaning teeth after feeding, giving plenty of water can help. Start brushing her teeth daily... Hope this helps.
