Bad Breath Solutions: Causes and Treatments
Persistent bad breath is more than an inconvenience — it can signal an underlying oral health issue. Identifying the cause is the key to fresh breath that lasts.
Common Causes
Bad breath usually stems from bacteria on the tongue and between teeth, gum disease, dry mouth, or untreated cavities. Diet, tobacco, and certain medical conditions can also contribute.
Effective Solutions
Thorough brushing and flossing, cleaning your tongue, staying hydrated, and treating any gum disease or decay address the root cause. Mouthwash alone only masks the problem temporarily.
When to See Us
If bad breath persists despite good hygiene, a dental visit can pinpoint the cause. Casselberry patients often find that treating an overlooked issue resolves the problem completely.
