Bad Breath (Halitosis)

While bad breath might be a symptom of a larger issue, it most likely stems from dental decay and/or periodontitis. While that issue on the forefront is that it can embarrassing in social situations, it's also a serious threat to your oral health.
Periodontitis is a disease affecting gums and bone that support the teeth, it's caused by inadequate brushing and flossing. In this disease, the irritated gums pull away from the teeth and form pockets between the teeth and the gums. These pockets fill with bacteria and pus which give off a foul odor. Patients with bad breath should be referred for a complete dental evaluation. If gum disease and/or dental decay is diagnosed, we can set you up with a treatment plan to take care of your concerns. The patient will no longer have an infection in his or her mouth, and will no longer have the worry of bad breath.
There's no need to live with bad breath, and no reason to neglect your dental health. If you have questions regarding halitosis, please call our office at 410-535-5055.
