Halitosis Treatment

No one wants to have bad breath. Certain foods and beverages can cause unpleasant mouth odor, but what if you have bad breath 24/7? Chronic bad breath, or halitosis, does not go away by brushing your teeth, using mouthwash or popping a mint into your mouth. If you have bad breath that does not go away, it may be caused by a dental problem. As part of our general dentistry treatments at The Smile Lounge, we offer halitosis treatment at our clinic in Grand Prairie.

There are many dental health issues that can result in unpleasant odors in your mouth. Tooth decay or cavities are caused by bacteria on the teeth, which can also lead to bad breath. Tooth infections or abscesses can also cause halitosis. Periodontal or gum disease can also cause bad breath that does not go away even after brushing, flossing and rinsing with mouthwash. When you have lingering bad breath, it is time to see a dentist to determine if there is an oral health issue causing your breath odor.
