Bad Breath (Halitosis)

Bad breath, or halitosis, is certainly unpleasant and can be embarrassing. If you’re using mouthwashes and breath fresheners, but nothing seems to help, there are other factors that could be contributing to or causing this condition:

• Food particles / bacteria in the teeth or gums
• Gum disease / plaque
• Dehydration / dry mouth
• Tobacco / gum irritants
• Illness / disease
• Certain Medications

Bad breath that persists despite good home care routine, is not easily self-diagnosed. MyDentist can help determine the source of your bad breath, provide treatment plans to eliminate the condition and give you the confidence to be up close and personal!
