Bad Breath Solutions Glen Waverley

Bad breath or halitosis is often called the most embarrassing dental problem. When you suffer from bad breath, your self-confidence isn’t all that is affected; your social life will also become lifeless. If you have bad breath, don’t be ashamed about it. Instead of hiding, you should consult your dentist for the right treatment.

Your dentist Glen Waverley understands that bad breath is a sensitive subject for some people; thus, we treat it with sensitivity. We are confident that we can help you eliminate this dental concern and, eventually, regain your self-esteem. The first thing we can do to is to determine what causes your bad breath, as the treatment will rely on the root cause of the problem. 

Causes of Bad Breath

There are many causes of bad breath, but nearly 90 per cent are caused by gum disease. At Ek Dental Surgery, we can provide treatment for bad breath as we also address any periodontal health issues. Other causes of halitosis include:

  • Poor dental hygiene

  • Decayed teeth

  • Dry mouth

  • Ill-fitting dental restorations

  • Cracked or leaking fillings

  • Poorly maintained dentures

  • Poor dietary habits and unhealthy lifestyle like smoking

In some cases, bad breath is not caused by problems related to your mouth. If your dentist finds that your mouth has no issues but you are still suffering from bad breath, they may refer you to a medical practitioner. This is because bad breath can also be caused by medical conditions such as sinusitis and bronchitis, problems with stomach, diabetes as well as liver and kidney problems. 

Treatments for Bad Breath

The most effective way to eliminate bad breath that caused by poor dental care is to improve your oral hygiene at home and with the help of your dental team. Here are the other things that can help improve halitosis:

  • Drinking plenty of water

  • Chewing sugar-free gum after meals,

  • Quitting smoking

  • Eating a healthy diet, with more fruits and vegetables involved

  • Visiting your dentist regularly.

At Ek Dental Surgery, we use tried-and-true bad breath solutions. In most cases, treating bad breath requires a simple non-surgical procedure to restore the health of your gums and get rid of the sources of halitosis. On the other hand, if bad breath is caused by some illnesses, check with your GP.
