Effective Bad Breath Treatments

Halitosis, another name for bad breath, is more than just an embarrassing annoyance; it can also indicate underlying problems with oral health. At Comfort Dental Spa, we prioritize taking proactive measures to improve oral health, boost self-esteem, and help eliminate bad breath!

Services That Treat & Resolve Bad Breath

Routine Checkups: Regular dental examinations are essential for controlling bad breath. During these appointments, our dentist will look for possible causes of halitosis, such as cavities, gum disease, or dry mouth, before they worsen.  During checkups, you can also discuss your concerns regarding chronic bad breath and receive personalized guidance on how to keep your breath fresh between appointments.

Professional Cleanings: Regular dental cleanings ensure that our team can remove tartar and plaque accumulation that can lead to chronic breath issues. Our capable and caring team will thoroughly examine and clean each tooth, helping to ward off gum disease and tooth decay, which can also cause bad breath. Remember: Maintaining fresh breath and good oral health requires regular cleanings at least twice a year.

Periodontal (Gum Disease) Therapy: Gum disease is one of the main causes of chronic bad breath. If treatment is not received, periodontal can worsen and cause tooth loss, as well as other major health problems. At our practice, gum disease can be effectively treated with periodontal therapy, which focuses on halting the progression of gum disease by cleaning affected areas with scaling and/or root planning, gum grafts, pocket reduction, and more.

Dietary Changes: What you eat can profoundly affect your breath. While fibrous fruits and vegetables can help clean your teeth and stimulate the flow of saliva, other foods like garlic and onions are especially notorious for creating odors.

To keep your breath fresh, pay attention to your diet and keep your mouth hydrated throughout the day, as a dry mouth enables bacteria to multiply and worsen your breath, especially if your breath stinks after flossing.

Additional Benefits Of Having Your Smile Examined by Our Team

  1. Prevention of Systemic Issues: Foul breath may result from gastrointestinal disorders, such as acid reflux or another medical condition. Our Comfort Dental Spa team can provide a professional evaluation to help facilitate early detection and treatment if/as needed.
