Improve Your Breath & Enjoy a Fresher Mouth

Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is more than a social embarrassment. It’s often a sign of underlying oral health issues or even systemic health problems. By seeking treatment, you are taking a proactive step toward better overall health. At Desert Dental, our approach to treating bad breath is thorough and personalized to your needs.

Whether we notice the problem during a checkup, or you have made an appointment to address this need, your dentist may:

  • Professionally Clean Your Teeth  – A deep cleaning can remove built-up plaque and tartar that harbor odor-causing bacteria.
  • Treat Underlying Infection –  If we discover any infections, your dentist will provide appropriate treatment. It may include gum disease treatment, root canal treatment for infected teeth, or dental crowns to repair teeth affected by decay.
  • Address Your Dry Mouth – Dry mouth can often contribute to bad breath. In that case, your dentist will recommend lifestyle changes or products you can use to improve saliva production. 
  • Suggest Speciality Products – Your dentist can suggest specialized oral care products tailored to your needs. For example, certain toothpastes and mouthwashes are designed to combat bad breath.

In some cases, persistent bad breath may be a sign of underlying health issues or a dietary problem. If we suspect this might be the case, we’ll refer you to an appropriate medical specialist for further help.
