Bad breath, or halitosis, is usually caused by bacteria in the mouth. They collect on the tongue, in gum pockets, around decayed teeth and under old fillings, and release unpleasant-smelling gases. Patients visit our dental clinic in Krishna Nagar to find the cause and get lasting fresh breath.
Mouthwash and mints only mask the smell for a short time. Lasting fresh breath comes from treating the source – usually tartar, gum disease, cavities or a dry mouth – and keeping up simple daily habits.
Bad breath now and then is normal. Book a visit if it lasts despite good brushing.
Breath that stays unpleasant even after brushing and flossing usually comes from bacteria in gum pockets, on the tongue or around decayed teeth.
A constant sour, bitter or metallic taste can be caused by gum infection, food trapped under old fillings or a coated tongue.
A thick coating on the back of the tongue holds bacteria that cause odour. Tongue cleaning and treating the cause make a big difference.
Gum disease is one of the most common causes of bad breath. Treating the gums usually improves breath significantly.
Saliva washes bacteria away. A dry mouth from medicines, mouth breathing or low water intake often leads to bad breath, especially in the morning.
Tartar and decay trap food and bacteria. A professional cleaning and fillings remove these hidden sources of odour.
Most patients need one or two visits. The aim is to find and treat the cause, not just mask the smell.
