Bad Breath Solutions

Expert Dental Treatment for Bad Breath in Park Ridge, Logan  

Chronic bad breath, also known as Halitosis, is a dental condition that currently affects millions of people worldwide. While over the counter products such as breath mints, gum, mouth sprays and mouthwashes promise instant and long lasting results, the truth is that Halitosis treatment requires specialised dental intervention and a comprehensive oral care routine.  

If you are experiencing persistent bad breath accompanied by particularly nasty odours, book an appointment with Park Ridge Dental today where a team of dental experts can help identify the source of the problem and recommend the right treatment plan for you.  

What Causes Bad Breath?  

Halitosis should not be confused with bad breath. Often, bad breath is caused by food particles trapped between the teeth and gums. Odour-causing bacteria thrive in the moist, warm conditions of the mouth, particularly on the back of the tongue where they feed on dead skin cells, mucus and other organic matter.  

Poor oral hygiene is therefore the most common cause of bad breath. As the food particles are broken down by bacteria, unpleasant smelling compounds are released, which paves the way for tooth decay, gum disease and increasingly foul odours.  

Halitosis is common in individuals with a sinus infection, yeast infections caused by antibiotic use, diabetes as well as kidney and liver failure. Smoking and alcohol use leads to chronic dry mouth syndrome, which accelerates bacterial growth and bad breath.  

How to Treat Bad Breath  

If you’re wondering how to treat bad breath, Park Ridge recommends scheduling an appointment with our dental experts. Our dental team will work closely with you to get an idea of your lifestyle, underlying health conditions and other factors that may be causing the problem.  

Once our dentists have performed a thorough cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from teeth and gums, a comprehensive oral hygiene plan is developed which includes regular brushing, flossing and an effective toothpaste. 

A dental examination helps dentists determine whether there are cavities that need to be filled and spot signs of gum disease. By catching potential problems early, the source of the halitosis can be resolved in a timely manner, giving you a chance to control and eliminate bad breath over time.
