Fresh Breath Treatment
Cosmetic Dentistry Directory
ad breath is not only embarrassing, but can have a negative impact on our social interaction and relationships. It is estimated that approximately one out of every ten people suffer from chronic bad breath. While there are many causes of bad breath, over 90% of bad breath conditions are a result of oral and nasal-related conditions. The smaller percentage of bad breath results from disease processes in other parts of the body, such as the stomach or liver.
To determine the cause of bad breath, cosmetic dentists will use state-of-the-art tests to accurately diagnose the underlying problem and recommend an effective treatment plan.
Fresh breath treatment can include:
- Regular hygiene maintenance
- Home hygiene and tongue treatment
- Specially formulated oral hygiene products to help eliminate offending bacteria
If it is found that your bad breath is a result of gum disease, there are new technologies that can help. Oral hygiene products, such as the Sonicare toothbrush and Irrigator can be effective for home care. Depending upon the severity of your problem, your cosmetic dentist may recommend gum therapy using a laser to gently disinfect and evaporate inflamed tissues inside the gum pockets.
