We will thoroughly investigate your specific cause and offer effective general dentistry remedies to restore your dental health and your confidence.
Treatment for Bad Breath
While you may find temporary relief from a breath mint or chewing gum, these methods are only masking a chronic bad breath problem. Most cases of bad breath can be traced back to poor oral hygiene. When food debris and bacteria are left in the mouth, they can form volatile sulfur compounds that produce a foul odor. When hygiene is the source of bad breath, your condition can be easily remedied with more diligent brushing and flossing habits as well as routine professional dental cleanings. Tongue brushing is especially important when treating bad breath.
