Halitosis, more commonly known as persistent bad breath, is an oral health condition in which the odor associated with exhaled breath becomes unpleasant and noticeable. It can occur due to various factors such as poor oral hygiene habits, underlying medical conditions, or eating certain foods like garlic and onions. While temporary bad breath may come and go, halitosis is often chronic and difficult to ignore. Mouthwash and mints may bring temporary relief, but professional attention from your dentist is often the only way to get rid of bad breath for good.
Halitosis doesn’t have a single origin. We’re experts at pinpointing our patients’ individual causes so we can provide personalized treatments. Here are several of the common factors we look for when determining the cause of chronic bad breath:
Our goal is to provide individualized care with long-term fixes to help you get rid of bad breath for good. We’ll perform a comprehensive exam and discuss any underlying causes of your halitosis, then recommend the most suitable treatments. For some patients, a basic dental cleaning and lifestyle changes can help get them on the right track. Others who have signs of gum disease often benefit from a deep dental cleaning, also known as scaling and root planing. This procedure goes beyond the gumline to remove hard-to-reach bacteria contributing to bad breath and gum recession.
With our help, you’ll be able to get rid of bad breath for good and enjoy a fresh-smelling smile. We strive to provide a safe, nonjudgmental environment for our patients so they feel heard and respected. Plus, we always provide education about how to prevent bad breath from recurring. If you’re struggling with bad breath or any other dental issue, it’s important that you don’t put off seeking help. Contact us today to make an appointment with our team and get the relief you need.
