Halitosis Treatment

Halitosis Treatment

When bad breath doesn’t go away, we understand that it can be an embarrassing and frustrating problem to deal with, so we don’t recommend tackling this issue alone. Our highly talented Mid-Wilshire dental team is equipped to help you tackle your halitosis by targeting the source of the problem.

What is halitosis?

Halitosis is the general dentistry term for bad breath. While it’s normal to get halitosis sometimes, bad breath that doesn’t go away is known as chronic halitosis. The odor might be strong enough to drive others away.

Signs that You Might Need Intervention for Bad Breath

Chronic halitosis is often a symptom of a much bigger, underlying health issue. A foul-smelling mouth might be triggered by one of the following bad breath causes:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Dry Mouth
  • Gum disease
  • Tonsil stones
  • Oral or oropharyngeal cancer
  • Upper respiratory infections (like pneumonia)
  • Diabetes
  • Liver disease
  • Kidney disease
  • GERD (gastroesophageal disease)

Halitosis Treatment Expectations

If you struggle with chronic bad breath, scheduling an appointment with your dentist is the best first step. At our Los Angeles dental clinic, Dr. Adelpour can inspect the state of your gums and oral health. Then, he might suggest one of the following bad breath remedies:

Cleaning and Checkups
Deep Dental Cleaning

Also, Dr. Adelpour might prescribe an antibacterial mouthwash to help you combat bacterial overgrowth in the mouth.

If you have healthy gums and teeth yet still have bad breath, it’s likely linked to an issue in another body part. At this point, schedule an appointment with your primary healthcare provider to ensure that you do not have an underlying health condition contributing to bad breath.

How to Prevent Bad Breath

In matters of health, prevention is better than a cure. When preventing bad breath, one of the best ways to keep your breath smelling fresh is to maintain excellent oral hygiene. This could include:

  • Brushing twice a day for two minutes
  • Cleaning between the teeth with string floss or other interdental cleaners
  • Rinsing the mouth with an antibacterial mouthwash
  • Visiting the dentist at least every six months
  • Staying hydrated to prevent dry mouth
  • Boosting saliva production by enjoying sugar-free chewing gum, candy, and foods that require a lot of chewing
  • Avoiding tobacco, caffeine, or alcohol (because they dry out the mouth)

Our Exquisite Reviews

Dr. Adelpour and his dental hygienist, Hailey, made me feel so comfortable every step of the way, checking in to make sure everything felt okay (which it did). They are both so professional and made me feel very well-cared for. Initially coming into the appointment I was feeling pretty self-conscious about my two front teeth. After Dr. Adelpour did some excellent work on them, I left feeling so happy about the way they look. I can’t stop smiling. Would highly recommend!

The best experience I’ve had at the dentist for I don’t know how long. The facility is beautiful and clean, the doctor is easy to talk to and fun. I love how I could watch or listen to whatever I want while they’re working on perfecting my smile. They use all of the latest equipment and even showed me a 3D model of my teeth! Definitely going to come back indefinitely for the best experience.
