Bad breath, also known as halitosis, can be embarrassing and may affect your confidence in social situations. At Hastings Dental Centre, we understand how frustrating it can be, which is why we offer comprehensive bad breath treatments to address the root cause and restore fresh breath.
Common Mouth Odor Causes
Bad breath can stem from a variety of factors, including:
- Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow bacteria to accumulate.
- Gum Disease: Infections in the gums are a major cause of persistent bad breath.
- Dry Mouth: Reduced saliva production can cause bacteria buildup.
- Diet: Foods like garlic, onions, and coffee contribute to mouth odor.
- Underlying Health Issues: Conditions such as diabetes or sinus infections may also play a role.
