Getting to the bottom of bad breath: what causes it?
Bad breath is caused by bacteria that multiply in the mouth and release odorous gases when they feed. The most common cause of bad breath is poor oral hygiene, which enables bacteria to collect in the mouth, particularly at the back of the tongue. Smoking, eating certain foods and taking some types of medication can also contribute to bad breath.
In some cases, bad breath only crops up when you eat certain foods and if this is the case, it may be best to keep a food diary so that you can pin down which foods are giving you trouble and avoid them in the future. We also recommend chewing sugar-free gum after eating.
How we tackle bad breath
In persistent cases of bad breath, we usually recommend a series of dental hygiene sessions teamed with good oral hygiene at home. Our dental hygienists use the latest tools and techniques to achieve a really deep clean that gets rid of stubborn plaque and tartar and makes the mouth feel lovely and fresh. In addition to providing regular cleaning treatments, our hygienists can also offer advice to help you improve your oral hygiene regime at home and reduce the risk of bad breath recurring in the future. They can also help with diet and additional risk factors such as smoking.
At Liverpool Dental Spa, we understand that some patients feel nervous and embarrassed when they have issues like bad breath, but we assure you that we deal with such issues on a daily basis and we are here to help you. We have an exceptionally friendly team and we look forward to working with you to boost your confidence and banish bad breath for good.
