Fresh Breath Treatment
Bad breath is very common, affecting approximately 10% of the population. This condition is not only embarrassing, it can also negatively impact social interactions with others. The most common causes of bad breath are:
- Poor gum, tooth, and tongue health
- Issues with the upper airway, including the sinuses, nasal cavities, throat, and tonsils
- Infection or disease in the lungs
- Acid reflux disease
Fortunately, bad breath is easily treated by your dentist. In order to properly treat your condition, your dentist must first diagnose the cause of your bad breath. Depending on the cause, your fresh breath treatment may include:
- More diligent oral hygiene maintenance
- Home hygiene and tongue treatment
- Specially formulated oral hygiene products designed to eliminate the bacteria causing your bad breath
If your bad breath is caused by gum disease, you may need to undergo periodontal treatment to improve the health of your gums. If your bad breath is caused by a condition such as acid reflux, your dentist may refer you to a physician who can treat the underlying condition.
Don’t let chronic bad breath interfere with your life. Seek treatment from your dentist today.
