If you’re self-conscious about bad breath, you’re not alone. Millions of people suffer from halitosis or chronic bad breath. The good news is that there are many effective treatments available to help freshen your breath and improve your confidence.

Most bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth. These bacteria release foul-smelling compounds that can cause your breath to smell bad. Treatment for bad breath typically involves targeting these bacteria. Common treatments include mouthwashes, toothpastes, and tongue scrapers. However, some people may need more aggressive treatment, such as antibiotics or oral probiotics. Our qualified dental professionals will take the time to fully inspect your mouth and assess your condition. Based on our findings, we will recommend the most appropriate treatment.

Common Halitosis Causes

In many cases, bad breath is simply the result of poor oral hygiene. Brushing and flossing regularly can help to remove food particles and bacteria from the mouth, reducing bad breath. Another common cause of bad breath is dry mouth. When saliva levels are low, bacteria can build up in the mouth, leading to an unpleasant odor. Drinking plenty of water and chewing sugar-free gum can help to increase saliva production and reduce bad breath. Additionally, certain foods, like garlic and onions, can contribute to bad breath. Finally, some medical conditions, such as gum disease and acid reflux, can also cause bad breath.
