How we treat bad breath in our Bellevue dentist office –

The first thing that we will do is to conduct a thorough examination.  Very often, bad breath is caused by cavities, an infection or gum disease.  In fact, this can be your body’s way of alerting you to a health issue.  By identifying the problem we can treat it right away and your breath will begin to smell better. Even more importantly, your oral health will improve and your risk of suffering a toothache will decrease significantly.

Another cause for bad breath is dry mouth. This is a common problem that tends to affect older people and those taking antibiotics.  However, anyone can suffer from dry mouth or a lack of saliva.  Without enough saliva, food particles and plaque cannot be washed away, leaving your breath to smell stale.  Drinking more water will help to combat this as will using an antiseptic mouthwash twice a day.
