FAQs
Bad breath, medically known as halitosis, is an oral condition that can affect personal confidence and social interactions. Persistent bad breath is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth, poor oral hygiene, gum disease, or underlying health issues. At Fab Dental, we provide specialized treatments to eliminate bad breath and help you maintain a fresh, healthy smile.
Bad breath can result from a variety of factors:
Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque and tartar buildup
Gum disease or infections
Tongue coating due to bacteria and food debris
Dry mouth (xerostomia)
Tooth decay or cavities
Certain foods such as garlic, onion, and spices
Medical conditions like diabetes, respiratory infections, or acid reflux
Leaving bad breath untreated can lead to:
Persistent social embarrassment and reduced confidence
Gum disease or oral infections
Worsening of dental problems like cavities or tartar buildup
Underlying systemic health issues going undiagnosed
Early intervention ensures both oral and overall health improvement.
Persistent unpleasant odor even after brushing or mouthwash use
Coated tongue or thick saliva
Gum inflammation or bleeding
Dry mouth or persistent bad taste
Recurrent cavities or tooth decay
A dental professional evaluates your oral health, identifies areas of concern, and conducts diagnostic tests if needed.
Determining whether bad breath stems from gum disease, cavities, tongue coating, or systemic health issues is crucial for effective treatment.
Treatment may include:
Teeth cleaning to remove plaque and tartar
Gum therapy to treat infections
Tongue cleaning to remove bacterial coating
Addressing cavities, dental restorations, or oral lesions
