Bad Breath Treatment (Halitosis)
If you’re struggling with persistent bad breath, you may be experiencing halitosis, a common condition that affects many people. Fortunately, with the right treatment, you can restore fresh breath and regain your confidence.
Effective Bad Breath Treatment at Maldonado Dentistry
Halitosis, often referred to as chronic bad breath, is a widespread issue affecting nearly one in four people worldwide. This condition typically develops when bacteria stay trapped in the mouth for extended periods. While over-the-counter products like mouthwash, mints, or gum may offer temporary relief, they often don’t address the underlying cause of bad breath.
At Maldonado Dentistry, we take a thorough and effective approach to halitosis treatment. We start with a professional cleaning that targets the hard-to-reach areas in your mouth that regular brushing and flossing may miss. For more persistent cases, we recommend a deep cleaning procedure that includes scaling and root planing to remove bacteria from beneath the gum line. Additionally, if the source of bad breath is your tongue, we may incorporate tongue scraping into your treatment plan. Our goal is not just to end bad breath but to provide a comprehensive solution that supports long-term oral health.

Yes, cavities can contribute to bad breath. When a cavity forms, it creates a space where bacteria can accumulate, leading to unpleasant odors. Addressing cavities is an important part of halitosis treatment at Maldonado Dentistry.
