A blurb about bad breath (halitosis):

Halitosis, commonly known as bad breath, is a condition characterized by an unpleasant odor coming from the mouth. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including poor oral hygiene, which leads to the buildup of bacteria on the teeth, gums, and tongue. Other causes include certain foods (like garlic or onions), dry mouth (reduced saliva flow), smoking, and medical conditions. Routine dental checkups are essential for pinpointing the cause of halitosis and finding the right solution. Our skilled dental team offers thorough assessments and customized treatment plans to effectively manage bad breath and improve your overall oral health.

How We Treat Halitosis:

To start treating halitosis a professional dental cleaning is needed to eliminate plaque and tartar buildup. This buildup can harbor odor-causing bacteria. In addition to cleanings, our dentists may suggest specific mouthwashes, toothpaste, or dietary changes to help control bad breath. We also stress the importance of consistent brushing, flossing, and tongue cleaning at home to maintain fresh breath on a daily basis.
For patients without dental insurance, we offer affordable care options to ensure everyone can receive the treatment they need. By addressing the causes of halitosis, we help our patients enjoy long-lasting relief from bad breath and improve their overall dental health.

FAQs

What causes bad breath?

It can be caused by various factors, including poor oral hygiene, certain foods (like garlic or onions), dry mouth (reduced saliva flow), smoking, and medical conditions (like gum disease or respiratory issues).

Is bad breath normal in the morning?

Yes, it is common to experience bad breath in the morning but it should improve after brushing your teeth.

Can smoking cause my bad breath?

Yes, smoking is a common cause of bad breath. Tobacco products not only leave a strong odor in the mouth, but they also dry out the mouth, reducing saliva production. Saliva is essential for washing away food particles and bacteria, so when it's lacking, bacteria can thrive, leading to bad breath. Additionally, smoking can contribute to gum disease, another condition that can cause persistent bad breath. Maintaining regular dental checkups is very important for tobacco users.
