Helping You Feel Fresh Again – Sydney Dental Surgeons
Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is when your mouth smells unpleasant. This can happen sometimes or all the time. It can make people feel shy or uncomfortable, especially in social or work situations.
What Causes Bad Breath in Beaconsfield?
The most common reason is bacteria inside the mouth. These tiny germs live on your tongue, teeth, and gums. They feed on leftover food and release a gas that smells bad. This often happens if you don’t clean your mouth properly every day.
Other things that can cause bad breath are:
- Not cleaning the mouth well
- Food stuck between teeth
- Bacteria on the back of the tongue
- Smoking or alcohol use
- Gum infections
- Tooth decay
- A dry mouth
There are also some health problems that can cause bad breath. These include:
- Infections in the nose or chest
- Problems in the stomach
- Diabetes
- Liver or kidney issues
How We Treat Bad Breath in Beaconsfield
At Sydney Dental Surgeons, we begin by checking your teeth, gums, and tongue. We look for signs of infection, damage, or dryness. If needed, we clean your teeth and remove plaque. We may also show you better ways to clean your mouth at home.
We often suggest:
- Brushing twice every day using fluoride toothpaste
- Cleaning your tongue with a soft scraper or brush
