Halitosis Treatment

Treatment for Bad Breath

Bad breath can be embarrassing and lower your self-confidence. If you are experiencing bad breath even after brushing your teeth or using a breath mint, you may have halitosis. There are many causes of bad breath, such as lingering smell from food or poor oral hygiene, but if you take care of your teeth and notice your bad breath just won’t go away, it may be time to come into our office to get things checked out. Dr. Justin Crocker and his team want to help those who suffer from chronic bad breath, which is why we offer halitosis treatment along with our other general dentistry services.

What is halitosis? Halitosis can be caused by plaque, tartar buildup, an infected tooth, or diseased gum tissue. When bacteria feed on plaque and tartar, it causes an unpleasant odor which causes bad breath. One of the ways to fix bad breath is to get halitosis treatment.

Other than gum disease and plaque/ tartar buildup, other factors can cause bad breath. So what causes bad breath? Bad breath can also be caused by poor oral care, certain foods, and even tobacco products. If you are experiencing bad breath due to these causes, some bad breath remedies may help you. Here are a few ways to get rid of your bad breath: brushing and flossing your teeth regularly, breath mints, using mouthwash, adjusting your diet, and coming into our office for regular dental checkups. 

If you have tried the above remedies and still find you have bad breath, we can show you how to get rid of bad breath permanently. Give us a call today to schedule your treatment for bad breath.
