Bad Breath/Halitosis

An embarrassing social problem, the unpleasant odor of bad breath or Halitosis can result from poor diet or dental hygiene, dental problems, Xerostomia, systemic diseases, smoking, or ketosis as a result of fasting. The intensity differs during the day based on certain foods you eat, obesity, smoking and alcohol consumption. In addition, it is worse in the morning due to the fact that the mouth is exposed to less oxygen at night.

When bad breath is persistent, it can negatively affect social and business relationships. This problem can be solved with proper oral hygiene and regular dental visits. Your local New Jersey dentist can review the reasons why you have bad breath and suggest methods of treatment. Halitosis or bad breath treatments can vary and include attending to an underlying health condition, administering specialized mouthwashes and toothpastes, or finishing up a course of treatment for a current dental disease.
