Bad breath is something our patients often experience, and is one of the common things they ask us about at our practice. Quite often, having bad breath, also called halitosis, is the result of decay and can be remedied with proper cleanings and periodontal health.
Dr. Dennis Morehart offers a variety of dental services that help clean the patient’s mouth. Whether that means a regular cleaning, treating gum disease, or providing tips and suggestions for improving their halitosis, we help patients find better self-confidence.
In general, bad breath can be caused by a number of things, including:
- Failing to brush and floss regularly
- Smoking cigarettes
- Not drinking enough water
- Suffering from dry mouth
- Taking certain medications
During the first dental visit, we determine the root cause of the bad breath. This helps guide us in the right direction for the best treatment options. In some cases, it is simply a matter of a deep cleaning, while other patients need treatment for periodontal disease. If you are struggling with bad breath in Enid, OK call Dr. Dennis Morehart to schedule an appointment for a professional cleaning and check-up.
