Many
times bad breath is caused by the bacteria in the mouth and on the tongue.
Sometimes it can be an indication of gum disease. Either way, your first stop
to address persistent breath problems should be our office, because if gum
disease is present, it must be treated promptly to avoid tooth loss. Gum disease
is the leading cause of tooth loss among adults!
Possible
causes for halitosis are:
- Tooth
Decay
- Periodontal
(Gum) Disease
- Inadequate Oral Hygiene
(not brushing and flossing)
- Odor-causing foods
- Use of Tobacco Products
- Sinus or Respiratory
Infection
- Continued Mouth Dryness
(Xerostomia)
- Some Medical Disorders
- Some Medications
Dr. Loar
can help you determine the cause, and if the cause is an oral condition, a
treatment plan can be developed to combat this common source of embarrassment.
Part
of your treatment may include CloSYSII® oral rinse, available from our
office.
