Bad breath/Halitosis Treatment

Bad breath, or halitosis, can be a sensitive and embarrassing condition. It is characterized by an unpleasant odor and can be either an acute or chronic condition. Dentists at our Rockville dental office can help you identify the causes of bad breath and devise an appropriate treatment plan.

Causes of bad breath include:

-Consumption of strong flavored foods such as garlic and onion. The odors from these foods become absorbed and expelled by the lungs as you breathe.

-Inconsistent brushing and flossing. When food collects on the teeth, gums, and tongue it causes an unpleasant odor. Regular brushing and flossing remove this food.

-When dentures are not cleaned any remaining food on the surface can cause an unpleasant odor.

-Untreated periodontal/gum disease can also cause an unpleasant odor in the mouth.

-A decrease in production of saliva causes dry mouth. Without saliva, the mouth has a hard time removing small particles of food which in turn causes an unpleasant odor.

-Smoking can dry the mouth and cause bad breath as well as contribute to periodontal disease.

Certain medical conditions may cause bad breath including:

-Colds or respiratory infection

-Allergies and sinusitis

-Diabetes

-Gastrointestinal disorder

-Liver or kidney disorder

A treatment plan for bad breath will be based on the origin of the problem and any current health conditions and the overall health of the mouth. Treatment may include a change in oral hygiene routine such as in increase in brushing or flossing, scraping the tongue, or using an antibacterial mouth rinse. Treatment will often depend on the patient’s tolerance for different procedures or medication.

Bad breath is a treatable condition and doesn’t have to continue to affect you on a daily basis. Call today for a consultation with a dentist at our Rockville office.
