Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a common yet frustrating condition that can affect your confidence and daily interactions. At Premier Dental of New Albany, Drs. Doug Hudoba and Mark Alexandrunas understand the importance of fresh breath and optimal oral health. Our team provides comprehensive bad breath treatment for patients in the New Albany, OH, area, addressing the root causes to ensure long-term results.
Bad breath can stem from a variety of factors, including poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth, dietary choices, and underlying health conditions. Regardless of the cause, our expert dental team can diagnose and treat bad breath with effective solutions tailored to your specific needs.
At Premier Dental of New Albany, we offer a range of treatments to help combat bad breath and restore your confidence. Our bad breath treatment plans include:
A professional dental cleaning is one of the most effective ways to reduce bad breath. Plaque and tartar buildup can harbor bacteria that contribute to unpleasant odors. Our hygienists thoroughly clean your teeth and gums, removing harmful bacteria and freshening your breath.
Gum disease is a leading cause of persistent bad breath. If you have inflamed or bleeding gums, you may be suffering from periodontal disease, which allows bacteria to thrive. Our team provides deep cleaning treatments, including scaling and root planing, to eliminate bacteria and restore gum health.
Saliva plays a crucial role in neutralizing bacteria and keeping your mouth fresh. If you experience dry mouth, you may be more prone to bad breath. We offer recommendations and treatments, such as saliva substitutes and hydration techniques, to keep your mouth moist and healthy.
Certain foods, such as onions, garlic, and spicy dishes, can contribute to temporary bad breath. Additionally, smoking and alcohol consumption can worsen halitosis. Our team provides guidance on diet and lifestyle changes that can significantly improve breath freshness.
The tongue is a common area where bacteria accumulate, leading to bad breath. We educate our patients on proper tongue cleaning techniques and recommend tongue scrapers and antibacterial mouthwashes to eliminate odor-causing bacteria.
Sometimes, bad breath can indicate an underlying medical issue, such as acid reflux, diabetes, or respiratory infections. If we suspect a systemic cause, we will work closely with your physician to ensure you receive the appropriate care.
