Bad breath is an unpleasant experience for yourself and those around you. It’s normal for certain foods to impact your breath. Brushing your teeth or rinsing with mouthwash usually treats this problem. But there are cases where no matter how thoroughly your brush bad breath continues to hinder your life. This condition is known as halitosis or chronic bad breath. At Better Way Dental, we offer halitosis treatment as part of our general dentistry services.
Chronic bad breath can be caused by a variety of issues. Most often than not, patients experiencing halitosis are dealing with an underlying dental problem. Bacteria builds up in your mouth as you eat different foods. When oral hygiene isn’t optimal and professional dental care is neglected, bacteria lingers and creates problems. The unpleasant odor coming from your mouth is bacteria concentrating in different parts of the mouth.
Halitosis Causes
- Gingivitis
- Tartar buildup
- Infections
- Tooth decay
