Several factors can cause persistent bad breath after brushing. Common reasons include:
Yes, your general dentist can help identify and treat the underlying causes of bad breath. They’ll conduct a thorough examination, checking for oral health issues like gum disease, tooth decay, or dry mouth. By addressing these problems and recommending professional treatments, your dentist can significantly reduce or eliminate bad breath.
The treatment depends on the cause but may include:
Chronic bad breath can result from oral conditions like gum disease, cavities, dry mouth, tongue coating, or infected tonsils. It may also stem from certain foods, tobacco use, poor oral hygiene, medical conditions, and some medications. Identifying the specific cause is essential for effective treatment.
Yes, in many cases. Brushing twice daily, flossing daily, cleaning your tongue, staying hydrated, and regular dental checkups can significantly reduce or eliminate bad breath. However, if halitosis persists despite good oral hygiene, it may indicate an underlying dental or medical condition requiring professional attention.
Sometimes bad breath can signal health issues beyond the mouth, including respiratory infections, diabetes, liver or kidney problems, and gastrointestinal disorders. If we suspect a non-dental cause for your halitosis, we may recommend consulting with your physician for further evaluation.
While mouthwashes can temporarily mask bad breath, they don’t address underlying causes. Antimicrobial mouthwashes may help reduce bacteria contributing to bad breath, but effective treatment requires identifying and addressing the root cause. We can recommend specific oral care products as part of your comprehensive treatment plan.
