What is Halitosis Treatment?
Halitosis is the medical term for chronic bad breath. Halitosis can affect anyone of any age and often has an underlying cause. In most cases, halitosis is caused by improper brushing and flossing techniques or hardened plaque and tartar that have been allowed to buildup on the teeth. Decayed teeth and gum disease can cause bad breath as well, so effective treatment can help to get rid of your embarrassment.
Why would you need Halitosis Treatment?
Halitosis can be an embarrassing situation, but it is completely curable and even preventable. Oftentimes, halitosis is corrected when proper oral care and hygiene are maintained. This means that it’s important to come in for regular cleanings, keep up with periodontal treatment and brush your teeth effectively at home. Some of the reasons you may have halitosis include:
- You need a professional dental cleaning
- You need to improve your at-home hygiene habits
- You have periodontal disease
- You need to start using a tongue scraper
- You have decayed teeth
- You are malnourished or vitamin deficient.
