Bad Breath

Fresh breath starts with a healthy mouth.

Understanding Halitosis

Bad breath, or halitosis, is a common concern that can affect your confidence in both social and professional settings. While mints and mouthwash may offer temporary relief, persistent bad breath often points to underlying issues that require professional care.

Common causes include poor oral hygiene, dry mouth, tobacco use, strong-smelling foods, and certain medical conditions. Infections, gum disease, and some medications can also contribute. Brushing your teeth and tongue, flossing daily, staying hydrated, and avoiding tobacco can help manage symptoms.

If your breath remains a concern despite good hygiene, it’s time to schedule a visit. At Clark Family Dental, we’ll identify the cause and help restore your confidence with targeted care.
