Bad Breath (Halitosis) Treatment
Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is a common and often embarrassing condition that can affect anyone at any age. At Care32 Dental Clinic, we understand how bad breath can impact your confidence and social interactions. Our comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating halitosis ensures that you can enjoy fresh breath and improved oral health.
Understanding Bad Breath (Halitosis)
Bad breath occurs due to a variety of reasons, including poor oral hygiene, certain foods, dry mouth, smoking, and underlying health conditions. The condition is often caused by the buildup of bacteria in the mouth, particularly on the tongue, gums, and teeth. These bacteria produce sulfur compounds, which are responsible for the unpleasant odor associated with bad breath.
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can lead to food particles remaining in the mouth, which then decompose and cause bad breath.
- Diet: Foods like garlic, onions, and spicy dishes can contribute to temporary bad breath. Persistent bad breath may be caused by a diet high in sugar or processed foods.
- Dry Mouth (Xerostomia): Saliva helps cleanse the mouth by washing away food particles and bacteria. A lack of saliva can lead to dry mouth, which in turn can cause bad breath.
- Tobacco Products: Smoking and chewing tobacco not only cause bad breath but also contribute to gum disease, which can exacerbate the problem.
- Gum Disease: Persistent bad breath may be a sign of gum disease, an infection of the gums that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth.
- Medical Conditions: Certain medical conditions, such as sinus infections, gastrointestinal issues, or diabetes, can cause bad breath.
