Breath Treatment
A Sigh of Relief & a Breath of Fresh Air
Many people brush their teeth, use mouthwash, and chew gum, but they still struggle with halitosis, the clinical term for bad breath. Usually caused by decay, gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or overactive bacteria, bad breath can cause you embarrassment and negatively impact your relationships. Common fixes, like breath mints and rinses, only act a temporary cover up and can dry out your mouth, which may make you more susceptible to halitosis. Good oral hygiene and breath treatments can resolve this issue.
Brushing twice daily and regular flossing will help remove food from your mouth, while semi-annual dental cleanings ensure that any build up is removed. You may need to consider professional breath treatment kits, which are designed to kill germs and destroy the source of volatile sulfur compounds that cause bad breath. Halitosis may indicate gum disease, so it’s important to let us evaluate your whole mouth. Visit our office so that Dr. Hackbarth can recommend the right treatment to give you fresh breath and improve your dental health.
