Tooth Decay

Halitosis or bad breath can be caused by several factors. It can be due to inadequate or improper dental regimens, diet or other lifestyle factors, or a sign of more serious health problems. It can also be caused by poorly fitted dental appliances, cavities, and oral yeast infections.

Generally persistent bad breath is accompanies by a bad taste in the mouth. It is usually a warning of gum or periodontal disease. When plaque is allowed to accumulate on teeth, bacteria will grow to the point that they will form toxins. These toxins will then irritate the gums. If left untreated, it will result in serious problems with not only the gums, but the underlying bone structure as well.

If you are dealing with persistent bad breath, call our offices.  We will be happy to set up a consultation with one of our professionals who will be happy to discuss your normal routine and try to determine the cause of the halitosis.  We will also be happy to accept you as a new patient on a regular basis to ensure your continued good oral health.
