We specialize in helping patients with dental hygiene and making their smiles look great
Bad breath is caused due to bad oral hygiene. It includes food habits, tobacco products, dental
hygiene, drugs and other mouth, nose and throat conditions. Maintaining good oral hygiene
ensures that cavities are avoided and it reduces the likelihood of gum disease.
A dentist will simply smell the breath of a person with suspected bad breath and rate the odor
on a six-point intensity scale. The dentist may scrape the back of the tongue and smell the
scrapings as this area can often be a source of the aroma.
