Bad breath or Halitosis is caused by Bacteria in your mouth. The bacteria build up on your teeth and gums, leading to a number of issues that can cause halitosis. These issues include tooth decay, gum disease, and gingivitis. In addition, bacterial coating on your tongue emits an odor. These issues can be made worse by poor oral hygiene practices, tobacco use, and the consumption of caffeinated beverages, frequently.
Bad breath treatment
If your bad breath is being caused by poor hygiene practices, your dentist will show you how to care for your teeth and gums properly.
The length of each bad breath treatment plan will vary based on the specific bad breath treatments involved.
If you have bad breath that isn’t caused by poor oral hygiene or anything in your diet, you must schedule an appointment as soon as possible.
Halitosis or bad breath might also be an indicator of a serious underlying dental issue as well. Breath fresheners and mint chewing gum only mask the symptoms of a deeper problem. Only professional and proper treatment can eliminate the source of the bad breath and eliminate it completely.
