If bad breath is causing you to keep your mouth shut and avoid close encounters with people, you might need more than a mint. Persistent bad breath, also called halitosis, is a condition that can be caused by different things, some more serious than others. To learn more about bad breath prevention and treatment, you first need a better understanding of the causes.
Bad breath prevention begins with you. The following at-home tips may help reduce or even eliminate your bad breath:
Your dentist in Omaha is essential for bad breath prevention and treatment. When you come in for your bi-yearly dental checkup, we will thoroughly clean your teeth, removing the plaque and tartar that may be contributing to your halitosis. You will love your mouth’s fresh, clean feeling after a professional cleaning at Today’s Dental!
The dentist also examines your teeth, gum, and mouth during the dental checkup. This examination helps rule out any oral health conditions contributing to bad breath, such as gum disease. If there are any oral health problems, we will provide you with a customized treatment plan. The plan will explain everything the dentist recommends, costs, and the expected timeline. Your halitosis treatment may be as simple as using a special toothpaste or mouthwash to eliminate more bacteria causing bad breath.
Bad breath treatment could also be part of a larger treatment. For example, if we determine that you have gum disease, our gum disease treatment plan will treat the larger issue and hopefully solve the side effect of bad breath simultaneously.
At Today’s Dental, we can assess your oral health to help find the cause of your bad breath. Then, we can provide you with a halitosis treatment that will give you the confidence you need to smile wide. Book your appointment right now, and let us help you get a fresher breath.
