Are you looking for a breath of fresh air?
Suffering with bad breath? You may not even be aware of it, but other people could well be. Bad breath can be a disaster for your social life and if people offer you gum and avoid standing too close to you whilst talking, you may be starting to get the hint. But it’s no laughing matter. Bad breath can actually be the cause of something more serious and the most common of these is gum infections.
Halitosis or chronic bad breath is caused by bacteria in the mouth from breaking down bits of food. If the bad breath is persistent then it could potentially be a sign of gum disease. Smoking, drinking and a diet of strong, pungent flavoured foods such as onion and garlic can all help to contribute to bad breath.
At the Red Sky Dental Spa we offer a range of different hygiene services which can give you professional advice on how to help keep this problem to a minimum. These include special products which are designed to help clean the mouth specifically for this purpose. The key in cleaning all areas of your mouth is to include the tongue. Generally, if there is another source of bad breath then this really needs to be addressed too. This can include undiagnosed diabetes, food intake, etc.
Bad breath treatment can normally be resolved in a few weeks however, although the situation may be ongoing and will usually involve a good home care and hygiene regime as recommended by Dr Pav Khaira. This includes brushing, flossing daily and cleaning your tongue using an appropriate mouthwash.
Bad breath can lead to all kinds of problems but one of the biggest is a loss of confidence. Quite often it goes unnoticed as people are not aware of the problem and are generally too polite to say anything. The problem is generally taken as offensive by other people and can even make them feel unwell!
