Bad Breath Treatment (Halitosis)
If you constantly struggle with bad breath, known medically as halitosis, Dr. C. Anthony LoPresti offers effective treatments to address this issue.
Bad Breath/Halitosis Treatment
Many people experience chronic bad breath, which is usually due to bacteria accumulating in the mouth. While over-the-counter products like mouthwash, mints and gum can temporarily mask the odor, they don’t address the underlying cause. Proper treatment involves eliminating the bacteria responsible for the odor.
At Dr. C. Anthony LoPresti’s office, we provide encompassing halitosis treatment that includes professional cleanings and oral hygiene practices. These treatments target areas that are typically missed during routine brushing and flossing. For more persistent cases, we may recommend deep cleaning procedures, such as scaling and root planning to remove bacteria from below the gum line. Additionally, tongue scraping can be beneficial if the tongue is a significant source of bad breath.
