Extremely Serious Effects From Not Treating GERD

Halitosis

The stomach contents that rise into the esophagus of a gastroesophageal reflux disease patient include regurgitated bile, undigested food, and stomach acids. All three of these components have strong odor properties that are known to linger long after the stomach contents have drained from the area. Undigested food that regurgitates from an affected individual's stomach can carry an overgrowth of gut bacteria that also lingers in the saliva near the throat and back of the mouth. The bacteria and acid that make their way into the oral cavity of a GERD patient also cause an overall compromise of the health of the teeth and the mouth. Poor oral health can also contribute to the manifestation of halitosis in an affected individual.
