Kiss Halitosis Goodbye
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be embarrassing and uncomfortable. Our Edmond dentist who treats bad breath is dedicated to identifying the underlying causes and providing effective treatments to help you regain fresh breath and confidence.
What causes bad breath?
- Poor oral hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing can leave food particles that decay and produce odors.
- Diet: Foods with strong odors, such as garlic and onions, can contribute to bad breath.
- Dry mouth: Reduced saliva production can lead to an increase in bacteria that cause bad breath.
- Tobacco products: Smoking and chewing tobacco can leave a lasting odor and contribute to gum disease.
- Medical conditions: Respiratory infections, chronic sinusitis, and gastrointestinal issues can cause persistent bad breath.
- Dental issues: Cavities, gum disease, and poorly fitting dental appliances can harbor odor-causing bacteria.
