What Is Bad Breath Therapy?
Excessive bad breath, also referred to as halitosis, is typically caused by a buildup of tartar and plaque on your teeth. When these remain on the teeth, the sugars from beverages and foods become acid, which causes the odor. If not removed, plaque and tartar buildup can also cause gingivitis or possibly more advanced cases of periodontal gum disease. There are numerous different treatments available at Reflections Dental that fight halitosis and help restore and enhance overall oral and dental health. It is crucial to visit Dr. Donald Hildebrandt in Peoria, AZ for a dental examination if you notice excessively bad breath because it can be an indication of a more serious health condition.
What Can I Expect from Bad Breath Therapy?
An appointment for bad breath treatment will begin with an examination by Dr. Hildebrandt to evaluate your teeth and gums for potential causes of your halitosis. Dr. Hildebrandt will determine which treatment may be right for you. The first plan of action will usually be for you to be given a dental cleaning to eliminate any buildup of tartar or plaque. If that does not cure the halitosis, an extra appointment for additional treatments or procedures may be necessary.
