Bad Breath (Halitosis) Treatment
If you struggle with persistent bad breath, halitosis treatment can help restore your confidence and oral health.
Chronic Bad Breath Treatment
Halitosis, commonly known as chronic bad breath, affects nearly one in four people worldwide. This condition occurs when bacteria linger in the mouth, often leading to an unpleasant odor. While products like mints, gum and mouthwash may temporarily mask the issue, they don’t address the root cause.
Our professional bad breath treatment includes a deep cleaning to eliminate odor-causing bacteria. Using techniques such as scaling, root planing and tongue scraping, we target areas that regular brushing and flossing can’t reach. By removing these bacteria and maintaining a clean oral environment, we help you achieve long-lasting freshness and a healthier smile.
