Bad Breath

Comprehensive Dental Care for the Whole Family in Irvine

Bad Breath

There are a few different causes of bad breath. Ranging from stomach problems to diet and teeth problems, most of the causes can be found in the mouth.

They are:

  1. Tongue (when bacteria grows in between the papilla)
  2. Teeth Cavities (especially when food particles get stuck in them)
  3. Gum Diseases
  4. Extraction Sites During Healing
  5. Dentures When Mot
  6. Cleaned Properly
  7. Alcohol and Tobacco

If you or someone you know is concerned about unpleasant breath, the first step is a dental check up. Your dentist will be able to confirm or rule out the source of the bad breath. When the cause is found, treatment will be determined and explained by your dentist.

If the source of the unpleasant breeze is your mouth, there is little chance that mouth washes or mints can treat the problem. They usually mask the problem for a short period of time, and can sometimes exacerbate the situation. These are a few other, non-dental reasons that cause unpleasant breeze:

  1. Sore throat
  2. Tonsillitis
  3. Some food
  4. Infection of air passages

Maintaining a consistent oral hygiene routine and undergoing regular dental check-ups are effective measures to prevent unpleasant breath. If you live in or around Castro Valley, give us a call today to schedule an appointment.
