Halitosis (Bad Breath Care)

Chronic halitosis, or bad breath, can significantly impact your confidence and social interactions. At Forest Heights Family Dental, we’re committed to helping you identify and resolve the physical issues contributing to bad breath, restoring your oral health and confidence.

Understanding the Causes of Halitosis:

Bacteria: Various forms of bacteria naturally inhabit our mouths, feeding off food particles and leaving behind foul-smelling waste.
Dry Mouth: Reduced saliva production can lead to the accumulation of odor-causing bacteria.
Gum Disease: Poor oral hygiene and gum disease can result in the buildup of odorous bacteria, leading to bad breath.
Food: Certain foods, such as onions and garlic, can contribute to bad breath when broken down and transported to the lungs.
Smoking and Tobacco: Tobacco products not only cause their own distinct mouth odor but also increase the risk of gum disease, leading to halitosis.
Medical Conditions: Liver failure, cancer, and metabolic illnesses can produce chemical compounds that contribute to bad breath.
Gastrointestinal Problems: Conditions like GERD can cause halitosis due to regular reflux of stomach acids.

Treating Bad Breath:

Our experienced team can effectively treat bad breath by addressing underlying oral health issues. Professional cleaning to remove bacteria and plaque buildup, especially in cases of gum disease, is a key component of treatment. Additionally, we may recommend more extensive treatment for severe cases of halitosis.
