Bad Breath Treatment
Fresh Breath, Healthy Smile
Understanding Tooth Sensitivity
More Than Just Mouth Odor
Persistent bad breath, or halitosis, is a common concern that can impact both confidence and overall well being. While it may seem like a minor issue, it is often a sign of an underlying oral health problem. Bacteria on the tongue, teeth, and gums are the most frequent cause, as they release unpleasant odors when food particles break down. Gum disease, untreated cavities, or poorly fitting dental appliances can also contribute to halitosis.
In addition, dry mouth plays a major role in bad breath. Saliva naturally helps wash away food debris and bacteria, so reduced saliva flow allows odor to build up. Medical conditions, medications, smoking, and diet choices (such as frequent coffee or garlic intake) can all make the issue worse. Understanding the true cause is the first step toward lasting freshness.

We also provide personalized advice for at home care. This may include brushing and flossing techniques, tongue cleaning, hydration strategies, or recommending specific rinses and toothpastes designed to fight odor causing bacteria.
