Halitosis Treatment

While we all experience bad breath from time to time, for chronic bad breath the problem may be easily resolved by using good oral hygiene. Dr. Braverman and the Smile Studio will help you through a thorough evaluation and treatment plan.

Often, halitosis can be remedied through proper brushing, flossing, keeping your mouth moist and chewing sugarless gum. Also, a tongue scraper used on a regular basis will also reduce bacteria at the back of your mouth. Avoiding foods containing sulfur (onions, garlic, and cabbage) will help as well - these foods produce sulfurous gases as you digest them.

Periodontal disease contributes to bad breath as well as the need for restorative dentistry. Cavities ,broken fillings and failing dental work all trap plaque contributing to bad breath.
