What is Halitosis?

Halitosis is a condition where patients experience persistent bad breath that doesn’t go away with regular brushing, flossing, and mouthwash. It’s a condition many patients experience that can impact both social and professional interactions.

Halitosis often stems from oral hygiene issues but can also be a sign of underlying health concerns. Fortunately, you don’t have to face the issue alone. Our halitosis treatments are designed to address the root causes of bad breath and provide you with effective solutions for lasting freshness.

The Most Common Bad Breath Causes

Understanding what causes bad breath is the first step toward effective treatment. From underlying issues to lifestyle habits, here are some of the most common culprits of halitosis:

Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow bacteria to thrive, leading to unpleasant odors in the mouth.
Gum Disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis contribute to halitosis as the bacteria from infected gums produce foul-smelling byproducts.
Dry Mouth: Insufficient saliva to cleanse the mouth allows bacteria to multiply, resulting in persistent bad breath.
Food Particles: Leftover food particles in the mouth become a breeding ground for bacteria, causing unpleasant breath odors.
Diet: Certain foods, especially those with strong odors, can contribute to bad breath as they are absorbed into the bloodstream and released through the breath.
Regular Smoking: Tobacco products not only contribute to dry mouth but also leave a lingering odor, leading to chronic halitosis.
Underlying Health Conditions: Various health issues, such as respiratory infections or metabolic disorders, can manifest in bad breath, indicating an underlying concern that needs attention.

With an expert consultation, we can target the cause of your breath distress and help get rid of bad breath for good.

Comprehensive Halitosis Treatment

For some patients, a basic dental cleaning and improved at-home habits are effective bad breath remedies. If gum disease is the primary cause, we may suggest scaling and root planing (SRP) for halitosis treatment. Also known as a deep dental cleaning, SRP treatment is a meticulous deep cleaning procedure aimed at removing plaque and tartar from below the gumline. This goes beyond a standard cleaning, addressing the buildup of bacteria that may contribute to bad breath. By eliminating these hidden sources of odor, we not only provide immediate relief but also work towards preventing the recurrence of halitosis.

Take Control of Your Breath and Your Health

Our halitosis treatments go beyond addressing the symptoms – it’s about taking control of your overall oral health. By targeting and resolving underlying issues, you not only regain fresh breath but also improve your gum health and reduce the risk of more serious oral conditions. Boost your confidence and enjoy a healthier, more vibrant life with our comprehensive approach to halitosis treatment and fixing bad breath.
