What Causes Bad Breath and How Can Your Dental Hygiene Routine Improve It?

Bad breath, also known as "halitosis," can be an embarrassing problem for anyone who has struggled with it. However, by knowing what is causing the bad breath, a patient can help treat the problem. An effective treatment can be determined once dentist or hygienist at The Denture and Implant Clinic in Sutton has been able to identify the root cause of the issue. Chronic, severe bad breath can be caused by many issues, including:
  • Oral infections
  • Chronic dry mouth
  • Certain foods (temporary)
  • Smoking and chewing tobacco
Many sufferers of bad breath have a more chronic condition. While eating certain foods, such as garlic and onion may cause a person to experience bad breath, this is only temporary. However, patients who struggle with chronic problems may be able to address their bad breath with a proper dental hygiene routine.

Particles of food, bacteria, and other problems in the mouth may be the source of halitosis. Dental hygiene routines that include brushing twice a day, flossing daily and using mouthwash may be able to help bad breath sufferers stop experiencing intense symptoms. Additionally, patients may also benefit from the use of a tongue scraper to remove any bacteria that may reside on their tongue during the day.

By visiting a dentist or hygienist, a patient will be able to learn more about what is causing their bad breath and receive a proper diagnosis. Additionally, they will be able to determine the best plan of action to help them battle halitosis and prevent it from becoming a chronic concern. With proper diagnosis and treatment, patients will be able to take charge of their persistent, chronic bad breath.

Regular appointments with your hygienist will ensure you get a deep, professional cleaning on a scheduled basis. This will help ensure you are removing all of the bacteria, plaque, and tartar that can build up and cause bad breath. By calling your dentist or hygienist at The Denture and Implant Clinic in Sutton, you will be able to find a solution to your bad breath and start taking control of your halitosis once and for all!
