Bad breath (halitosis) affects around one in four adults and can often have an impact on both social and professional life. There are many possible causes — and in some cases, it may be down to something minor in the mouth. At Mastrick Smile Care, we carry out thorough dental check-ups to help get to the bottom of what might be causing your bad breath. It’s important to identify and treat any underlying issues early on, as it could be a sign of something more serious.
Causes Of Bad Breath
Bad breath can be linked to a number of causes, including:
Tooth decay
Gum disease
Smoking
Food getting trapped between teeth
Certain foods and drinks in your diet
Infections in the throat or tonsils
A dry mouth or airways
A build-up of bacteria on the tongue
Poor oral hygiene routines
At Mastrick Smile Care, we’re well prepared to help tackle bad breath. It starts with an appointment with one of our dentists, who’ll work out what’s causing the issue and recommend the right treatment. Our team will find the source, treat it effectively, and help stop it from coming back — so you can feel confident again.
