FRESH BREATH THERAPY

Greenwood dental health – Treatment for breath malodour

Breath malodour, or bad breath, is a condition experienced by many people and it often goes untreated or is accepted as normal. However, it is treatable and it need not affect your daily life anymore.

Breath malodour is usually caused by sulfur producing bacteria that live on the surface of your tongue and within your throat. Poor oral hygiene, food trapping, gum disease, tooth decay, sinusitis and dry mouth all contribute to bad breath.

A visit to one of our Dental Hygienists will help you on your way to gaining fresh breath. Your first visit will involve an assessment of the condition, oral hygiene instructions and a thorough scale and polish. A follow-up visit will be needed around six weeks later to re-evaluate the condition.
