Bad Breath Treatment (Halitosis Therapy)
Persistent bad breath, medically known as Halitosis, is a common condition that can affect anyone, often causing embarrassment and social anxiety. While mints and mouthwashes offer a temporary mask, they often fail to solve the underlying problem. In 85-90% of cases, the source of bad breath is actually inside the mouth—caused by bacteria on the tongue, gum disease, or untreated cavities—rather than the stomach.
At Matoshree Multispeciality Dental Clinic, we provide a discreet and supportive environment to tackle this sensitive issue. We focus on identifying the specific root cause of the odor and providing targeted treatment to give you long-lasting freshness and renewed confidence.
What Happens During Halitosis Treatment?
Effective treatment starts with finding the source. Our process includes:
Detailed Assessment: We review your medical history, diet, and habits. We perform a comprehensive oral exam to check for gum inflammation, dry mouth (Xerostomia), and trapped food particles.
Professional Cleaning: A thorough deep cleaning (scaling) removes tartar and plaque buildup, which are the primary breeding grounds for odor-causing bacteria.
Tongue Disinfection: The back of the tongue is a major hotspot for bad breath. We demonstrate proper tongue cleaning techniques using specialized scrapers to remove bacterial coating.
Targeted Therapy: Depending on the cause, we may prescribe antimicrobial mouth rinses, treat specific cavities/infections, or recommend products to stimulate saliva flow if dry mouth is the issue.
When to Consider Professional Help
You should schedule a consultation if:
You have bad breath that persists despite brushing and flossing.
You have a constant bad taste (metallic or sour) in your mouth.
Friends or family have commented on your breath.
Your gums bleed when you brush (a sign of gum disease).
You suffer from dry mouth, especially in the morning or after taking medication.
Chronic bad breath is often a warning sign of gum disease or other infections. Treating it early benefits your overall health, not just your social life.
Technology and Approach
We use intraoral cameras to show you exactly where plaque and tartar are hiding. Seeing the problem areas helps you understand how to target your cleaning better at home. We also focus on Saliva Management, helping patients who suffer from dry mouth (a common side effect of many medications) find relief through specific hydration strategies and products.
Our approach is non-judgmental and private. We understand how personal this issue is, and our only goal is to help you resolve it efficiently.
Aftercare and Freshness Maintenance
Curing bad breath requires a consistent routine. We provide a personalized "Fresh Breath Regimen":
Hydration: Drink plenty of water throughout the day to wash away bacteria and keep the mouth moist.
Flossing: Floss daily to remove rotting food debris from between teeth that your toothbrush misses.
Diet: Limit sugary foods and strong odors like onions/garlic before social events; crunch on crisp fruits like apples or carrots to naturally clean teeth.
Regular Visits: Professional cleanings every 6 months are the best insurance against the return of bad breath.
