Answered by Master, Doctor Pham Thi Thu Huong - Head of Department of Gastroenterology - Endoscopy - Department of General Internal Medicine, Vinmec Times City International General Hospital.
Hello friend,
With the question “Half mouth caused by heart valve regurgitation, can it be operated? ", the doctor would like to answer as follows:
You need to go to the doctor and determine the exact cause of bad breath. 95% of the causes of bad breath are due to oral hygiene and diseases of the gums, jaw, pharynx and sinuses. Heart valve regurgitation is not the main cause of bad breath, so there is no indication for heart valve surgery to treat bad breath. You need to see a doctor to determine the cause and give more advice.
If you still have questions about bad breath caused by heart valve regurgitation, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you lots of health.
Best regards!
