Bad Breath Treatment | What Causes It?
Professional Treatments for Fresher Breath and Confidence
Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, affects many patients and can have a significant social and emotional impact. Whether it’s during a conversation, business meeting, or family gathering, persistent bad breath can cause discomfort and self-consciousness. While mints, gum, and mouthwashes offer temporary relief, they often fail to address the root causes. At our dental practice, we focus on identifying and treating the source of bad breath, offering long-term solutions that restore oral freshness and confidence. When proper oral hygiene doesn’t solve the issue, it’s time to consider deeper underlying factors. Chronic bad breath can indicate a more serious condition that requires professional attention. Recognizing the signs and causes is the first step toward achieving lasting breath freshness.
