Embarrassment can be a major roadblock when it comes to seeking care for halitosis. At Sincere Smiles Dental, we get it. Our compassionate Howell dentist is here to support you, not judge you. We work together to create a personalized bad breath treatment plan. Everyone deserves the opportunity to get optimal oral health without the weight of stigma—now is your chance!
Common causes of bad breath include:
Food and Drink: Garlic, onions, coffee, and fermented foods contribute to bad breath.
Dry Mouth: You need saliva to flush away odor-causing bacteria and food particles.
Gum Disease: Untreated periodontal disease can lead to chronic halitosis.
Decay: Deep cavities can trap food particles, leading to bad breath.
Infection: Infected teeth and gums can affect your breath.
Impacted Wisdom Teeth: A little-known sign of this problem is halitosis.
How to get rid of bad breath depends on the cause. Some cases just require a little extra instruction on how to floss and brush properly. If we suspect something is wrong with your teeth, we can perform treatments like dental fillings, cracked tooth repair, or wisdom teeth removal.
However, one of the most common bad breath causes is an issue with your gums. To prevent or treat gum disease, Sincere Smiles Dental can provide you with at-home bad breath remedies such as oral rinses and specific gum cleaning techniques. For more advanced cases, we can do a dental deep cleaning.
SRP is a dental deep cleaning that removes plaque and tartar buildup from below the gum line, where bacteria can thrive and cause bad breath. Our teeth-cleaning dentist uses specialized tools to carefully scale away plaque and tartar from your teeth and then smooth out the tooth root surfaces.
Deep dental cleanings are non-surgical and minimally invasive, performed by our gentle professionals who prioritize your comfort. This process not only eliminates harmful bacteria but also allows your gums to reattach to your teeth more securely, promoting healthy tissue.
You’re not alone in struggling with halitosis. At Sincere Smiles Dental, we’re here to create a supportive and welcoming space where you can share your worries without hesitation. With a variety of personalized solutions at our fingertips, we can help uncover the root cause of your bad breath and work together to boost your confidence.
