Signs that It’s Time to Manage Bad Breath

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be embarrassing, socially uncomfortable, and a sign of bad oral hygiene or bacterial overgrowth. Common causes of bad breath include poor dental hygiene, sinus infections, chronic diseases such as diabetes, dehydration, and vitamin deficiencies. Also, bad habits such as smoking, vaping, or drinking alcohol excessively can lead to dry mouth (or a lack of saliva flow). Plus, certain foods, including garlic and onions, have a bad reputation for leaving people with stinky breath.

Advantages of Bad Breath Treatment

Halitosis can be a source of shame and frustration, but don’t despair. Starting bad breath treatment can help you regain confidence in social and professional settings, as bad breath is linked to low self-esteem, negative self-image, and psychological distress. Sorting out your bad breath issues could help you find someone special or a new friend! In addition to these immediate benefits, bad breath treatment can often have long-term payoffs. Bad breath is rarely a sign of anything serious, but it could indicate underlying issues with your oral health or diet. So, taking care of bad breath now can prevent more significant problems down the line. Don’t let halitosis stop you from living life to the fullest. Start bad breath treatment today!

How It Works

The key to preventing bad breath is keeping the mouth clean and healthy. Therefore, it is crucial to practice good oral hygiene by brushing your teeth twice a day with a toothpaste containing fluoride, flossing daily to remove bacteria from between the teeth, and brushing or scraping the tongue every morning with a tongue scraper. Also, regular dental cleanings can keep your breath fresh. Additionally, drinking plenty of water throughout the day to avoid dehydration and maintain adequate saliva flow. Plus, we suggest avoiding destructive habits such as smoking and excessive drinking.

 

Suppose you’ve done all the previously mentioned action steps and still have halitosis. In that case, we can prescribe bad breath treatment, including scaling and root planing, prescription mouthwash, or other treatments tailored to treating your halitosis.
