Fresh Breath

Is your breath a concern in social and business success? About 90 million people suffer from the embarrassing problem of chronic bad breath. It can affect their personal relationships and job success. At our practice we treat bad breath as a medical condition. 80% of the time bad breath or halitosis originates in the mouth, but it can also be a symptom of an underlying disease that needs treatment.

Most bad breath is from dental problems like plaque or tartar on teeth, gums or the tongue. Also, broken and leaking fillings, infections and abscessed teeth or gum disease can be the source. The diagnosis is made after a thorough exam of teeth, gums, oral soft tissues and a personal interview. Fortunately, we have a combination of treatments and specific at-home products we can prescribe. Our goal is a healthy smile with fresh breath.
