Introduction
Bad breath — medically known as halitosis — affects millions of people and can be a source of significant embarrassment and social anxiety. While most cases are caused by oral bacteria and poor oral hygiene, persistent bad breath can also indicate underlying dental or medical conditions. Dr. Somnath Pal’s dental clinic in Medinipur provides thorough evaluation and treatment for halitosis, helping patients in Jhargram, Kharagpur, and Medinipur breathe with confidence again.
Addressing bad breath often requires identifying and treating the root cause rather than masking the odour with temporary solutions.
Common Causes of Bad Breath
The most common dental causes of bad breath include poor oral hygiene, gum disease, dry mouth (xerostomia), cavities, poorly cleaned dentures, and bacteria on the tongue. Non-dental causes include respiratory infections, acid reflux, diabetes, and kidney or liver problems.
A comprehensive evaluation at the clinic helps pinpoint the exact cause and develop an effective treatment plan.
Effective Dental Treatments for Halitosis
Depending on the cause, treatment may include professional teeth cleaning and scaling, treatment of gum disease, filling cavities, denture cleaning and adjustment, or tongue cleaning education. Dr. Pal also provides personalised oral hygiene instruction and dietary advice to prevent recurrence.
In most cases, addressing the underlying dental cause significantly resolves bad breath within a few appointments.
