Breath Treatment (Halitosis)
Serving Las Vegas, Summerlin, and Henderson, Nevada
Bad breath (halitosis) is not a simple hygiene problem. Rather, there are a host of medical conditions which can cause bad breath, including:
- Certain stomach ailments
- Mouth and sinus infections
- Missing teeth
- Cavities
In such cases, it doesn’t matter how well you brush and floss – the bad breath will still be there. Which is why, if you have consistently bad breath, you should make an appointment with a cosmetic dentist.
Only a cosmetic dentist can properly diagnose your condition. Treatment is dependant on the source of your bad breath. It could mean you will be prescribed antibiotics for an infection, or dentures to replace missing teeth. You might even be referred to a specialist to treat a specific medical condition.
The treatment for bad breath is usually simple – the tricky part is finding the correct cause for the halitosis. Additionally, sometimes it can be difficult for a person to even be aware of their bad breath, because their senses become accustomed to the problem. Often, it takes an intimate partner to alert you to your breath problems.
